How does Moodle Integrate?

As with any Registered Training Organisation the technology used needs to be assured of being a quality system which protects our students privacy and is compatible to our organisations systems.

So far, Moodle has been accommodating of this and working well integrating with our current Student Management System 'Wisenet'.  We have recently upgraded to Windows 365 and have seen some delays with systems responding, however our I.T. Department seems to be ironing out a few of the issues.

The beauty of Wisenet and Moodle working together is once students are enrolled in the course they are sent personal log on details directly by the systems without having to rely on human application.  This is hopefully going to cut down on students being missed due to data entry (human) errors.

Touch wood things seems to be working well with Moodle, Wisenet and Turnitin. The tests undertaken with dummy students seems to show no issues with students being able to log in to access course material and upload assessments via Turnitin. One of the great things about Turnitin is it is able to send instant submission reports to the students, which will mitigate the risk of assessments not making the marking record. This issue has occurred many times when being entered manually.

Like with any system protecting privacy is paramount. We aim to ensure privacy and student details are protected at all times. Both Wisenet and Moodle seem to afford us this reassurance. Moodle has implemented the Privacy API Moodle plugin that incorporates the General Data Protection Regulation that came into play on the 25 May, 2018 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jcVKzq2qimQ overall this Moodle plugin ensures that student data is protected.

Wisenet also has secure severs (SSL certificates) issued by Comodo, which also sees any data that is transferred being encrypted. https://www.wisenet.co/wisenet-cloud-computing-legal-information-privacy-statement-website-terms-of-use

These security measures are imperative in Moddle and Wisenet and it is something our team takes extremely seriously. We want our students to feel that there data is in no way compromised. Finally, we will also be stressing to the students at the commencement of the course the importance of protecting their password at all times. As protection of data is only as good as the passwords that protect it.
