We have be involved in a number of Student Portal Projects using technologies such as Moodle, Microsoft Sharepoint and Syllabus Plus and of course Live@EDU. We can help you bring your systems together with Single Sign-on (SSO) as well as nice looking graphics and easy to use solutions. Come and take a sneak peek at our awesome Sharepoint 2010 Student Portal- fully integrated with Live@EDU and Moodle too!
