|Open Admin for Schools is a School Administration Program. It is a freely |available, open source software package and is licensed under the GNU |General Public License. | | * It is entirely web based and can run from a centrally located |division wide server or a single computer in a school. It is designed to |support an entire division on one or more central computers but can also |work just fine for a single school. Currently several school divisions |use this approach and have 15+ schools on a single central server. This |is because it is designed to be lightweight both in server resource |requirements and in communication bandwidth. | | * It is secure. Each school has two or more virtual websites and |each is protected with password(s). One site, the 'admin' site, is |used by the school office and another, the 'teacher' site, is used by |teachers in the classroom. The teacher site also has password access |for entering attendance by teachers and also uses cookies that expire |in a short period, further limiting access. Another site, a |parent/student site, is controlled by parent/student userid's and |passwords. A fourth virtual site may be used by school liason officers |from outside agencies to give them a slightly different access to school |information.
