The Virtual Learning Network


At present the VLN is located in Interact and consists of a number of areas like:
Enrollments, Timetables, Scheduling, Communities of Practice, Professional development etc. Some of these areas need addressing, It needs to migrate out of this environment to another and the thinking at the moment is Moodle.

The image shows some of the areas already covered by the VLN but also some future thinking.
What needs to be done?
  1. Develop Business case and action plan. Outputs would be
    1. Business case 1 week 40 hours
    2. Technical specs 40 + 60 hours
    3. Action plan 20 hours total 160
  2. Migration and build 12 months
  3. Develop and implement community ownership model three options around being
    1. Community owned funded partially by MoE
    2. Stay where it is at MoE and worked for and by the community
    3. Completely owned by the community with funding options from the community as well as possible contributions and support from time to time from the MoE
I will have another think and add another post

You are not the only one looking at migrating out of Interact & into Moodle. Perhaps we should all share a Moodle platform, or at least get
a shared deal for hosting, as many of the clusters are looking at that right now.
