Staff 'Instant Messenger' function is about to go live.
EIS have completed their in-house testing of the Learning Platform instant messenger service which uses 'Windows Messenger version 5.1'.
This service will be activated for 'Staff' accounts only, its initially been trialled through the Wilmington Datford federation group as there will be a few KCN/user issues to be evaluated:
- How easy is it for non-technically experienced staff to follow the necessary procedures to activate this function?
- Can 'Windows Messenger' filter through KCN's firewall?
- Is the use of messenger outside the Learning Platform environment the system we want to adopt where LP users sit alongside friends and family?
We will let you know how we get on over the next couple of weeks - keep an eye on our progress.
