MLE Basics
• The MLE is an interactive website
that you log in to. It functions like an
online computer with built-in
software
• It is made up of virtual “rooms”,
which are housed within virtual
corridors
• Rooms are only accessible by those
members given ‘access’ privileges

MLE Basics
• It also has a number of
communication tools such as
internal email, a shared calendar
and diary functions
• There is a ‘Staff Room’ where
staff members can access
confidential documents,
publications, read notices and
easily communicate with each
other.

MLE Basics

2009 MLE Priorities:
By the end of next year, we would like all
departments to develop the following:
1) Department Resource Room
An area where students can access key resources,
specifically homework and coursework materials.
2) Communication System
Through the use of stickies, messages and discussion
forums, subject teachers can communicate with each
other and Key Stage 4 & 5 students.

The MLE will be the first point
of contact. Please check:
Personal Toolbar
✓ Your Today page
✓ The Staff Room for daily admin messages
✓ Your stickies & emails
✓ Diary (Calendar)
Resource Rooms
✓ Build up departmental Resource Room, adding access to
homework and coursework
✓ Practice using some of the teaching & learning tools provided by
Fronter i.e. Forums and Collaborative documents

Support
To support staff, there will
be a number of MLE clinics
every month, which are
scheduled in the calendar.
This is open to all staff who
wish to develop their MLE
skills. You can also visit the
Support & Training Room
for more self-directed
tutorials.

Passwords
If you lose your password,
contact the IT Support Team by
logging a call.
Please encourage students to
change their passwords to their
usual log in password. Students
who have lost passwords should
contact the IT Support directly
or the teacher can collate a list
and make a log call.

Have a good summer......
