*** Annoucing our New VLE Release ***
Frog VLE gets Supercharged!
On Monday the 5th of June the Secondary school will be switching over to our new VLE (See link below). That means you will need to check the new VLE for homework assigned and updated information.
There are a number of reasons why we are moving to a new version:
There are a number of reasons why we are moving to a new version:
- The previous VLE version will be discontinued
- The new version is HTML5 and adjusts to your device
- The new version offers more enhanced features
Previous VLE version will be discontinued
As with all software packages there comes a time when the older versions need to retire. Such is the case with our previous version. The VLE has always been the central source of information for staff, students and parents. The new enhanced version was totally re-written and so the older version will no longer be getting development support after the summer. We want to be up to date with the latest and greatest so it's so long old frog friend and hello new one!
New version is HTML5 and adjusts to your device
The new version runs on all browsers and will automatically adjust itself to best fit the device you are viewing it on; so whether you are logging in on a computer, tablet or phone you will get a design that best fits your device. Windows, Mac, Android, iOS... this version works with all operating systems and browsers.
New version offers more features
The new VLE will offer enhanced features to teachers, students and parents. The dashboard you get when you log in is cleaner and easier to navigate, the Crystal Menu at the top has been replaced with drop-down menus and the School Notices are compact with just the header showing with the details being revealed when clicked upon. Other features include:
- Student weekly homework agenda is visual and has direct links to assignments
- Department pages are enhanced and being updated over the summer
- Parents can change their own password and email address once logged in
- Parents can get assignments update notifications emailed directly to you.
Lots of other features are available so log in and check out the new tutorials.
New Digital Agenda
Want to know what homework is due, have a look at the new agenda view and see how they are colour coded so you know what is completed and what is not.
Email Notifications
Want to be more informed as to when an assignment is set, marked or closed - now you can have them emailed directly to the email of your choice.
Department Updates
We are upgrading our departments with a new fresh look. Over the summer the teachers will be working on adding more content for students to access
And all the previous features too!
This version still has the same features as the old version:
- Important Documents
- Academic Portal Links
- Student Reports
- School Calendar & School Notices
- Quick link features like Hot Lunch orders and Activities sign up.
