IAM for Schools: Presentation to ICT Services Working Group
View more presentations from Paul Seiler
Attended a seminar today organised by friends at the Ministry of Education's Managed Learning Environment Team. I'd encouraged people to attend that I work with as I'd recommended using SSO after explaining that it wont matter if students change their username and password in moodle, google apps, myportfolio, you tube etc and as users we will only have to log in once to have access to everything. It sounds too good to be true doesn't it?
There was a good example from John Creighton at Burnside too who has developed their moodle with myportfolio, google apps, and etv inside. He explained that this was important that staff saw it as one thing rather than introducing them to many. They used SSO that students and staff only logged into their moodle and then had access to everything that was inside. As users we know this important as we try to fumble through our different combinations of passwords when we log in, but to get the trust and buy in of teachers this is essential.
