43 Priorities for using Merlin Improve internal staff communication Communication with Parents Set up a whole school online calendar Provide access to a range of online content for teachers and learners Enable students to build a portfolio of work to share with teachers and parents Provide a method for students to submit homework/assignments online Work collaboratively with teachers from other schools Provide a single source of information for staff from two federated schools Manage information exchange with governors Support a specific learning target/development priority

44 Ofsted - Virtual Learning Environments evaluation (2008).. in most of the provision surveyed, the use of VLEs to enhance learning was not widespread. We found that the exploitation of VLEs at curriculum level resembled more of a cottage industry than a national technological revolution. In most cases, at subject level, the VLE remained one small aspect of learning, supported by enthusiastic staff and learners.

45 Ofsted - Virtual Learning Environments evaluation (2008) The best VLEs reviewed allowed learners to reinforce their routine work, or catch up on missed lessons. In those best cases the material offered was fun and helpful and was being used well by learners. In the least effective examples, documents had been dumped on the system and forgotten.
