Today the Victorian government abandoned its plan for the Ultranet
(tm) and instead decided to provided support for the implementation of
an Opensource software solution based on Moodle. Moodle is to be
extended by the department in order for Moodle integrate with roll
marking and attendance and will be customised with ePortfolio and
social networking support, using Mahara and elgg. The government
admitted that the current strategy of throwing squillions of dollars
at proprietary systems, designed for business and which lacked
pedagogical development processes, was destined to fail. A
spokesperson for DEECD said, "we screwed up royally with CASES and
we'd rather not revisit that scenario again". Switched on teachers
rejoiced at the decision as did bean counters who approved of the
decision not to make the schools slaves to annual licensing fees. One
teacher said, "it's great that the department is finally listening to
us. This will save the department tens of thousands of dollars. I was
beginning to think they were so far removed from teaching that they
didn't have a clue what we actually need. We already use Moodle and
now we have the chance to use 21st century solutions without the
encumbrance of fees which could be better spent on infrastructure."
