system, the promise that they will develop integration with Moodle and their

Hi Liam,
Oh a whole school solution! No I don't think so. I thought you meant
individual teachers having somewhere to store their class grades and
attendance.
For whole school solutions see [link] which

Ok engrade looks great but can many users log on with the same log on
