The security of the school SMS is now paramount as:

  • Numerous other applications are dependent on the SMS for data.

  • Assessment now can merge summative data from the SMS and (possibly) e-AsTTle with reflective and formative data from the LMS and displays this merged data on the LMS for parents/caregivers to view via the web on the schools intranet.

  • E-Administration projects now require the SMS to deliver base line data such as student information and schooling records.

  • The SMS data is becoming increasingly sophisticated and contains personal, legal and academic information about students and their families.

Interoperability of the SMS with the LMS, e-AsTTle and resources produced by the MoE is now critical as data and resources need to move seamlessly from one system to the other.

Students are now working in a 24/7 teaching and learning environment and need access to their portfolio, web site, resources, communication tools and school intranet 24/7.
