In your drive
for continuous
improvement, are
your current learning
and information
systems working for
you or against you?
TALMOSThe personalised integration
platform for schools,
academies and colleges
You may already have a number of learning and
information systems in place. But how well are
they working together to support and enhance
the teaching and learning experience? Are they
easy to access? Do they provide teachers,
students and their families with all the
information they need, whenever they want it?
If your education systems are not yet configured
to inspire the people who use them, then
perhaps now is a good time to find out more
about TALMOS.
Introducing TALMOS
TALMOS, from CORE Education and Consulting Solutions (ECS),
is a flexible and personalised integration platform designed
specifically for schools, academies and colleges.
TALMOS works with and enhances your existing learning and
information systems, tools and resources and brings them
together in a single, secure environment.
TALMOS helps your community – students, families, teachers,
support staff, leadership teams and governors – to work more
effectively. When everything is in one place and well
organised, it’s easy to work smarter and free up time to focus
on what matters most: a quality learning experience.
“All of our lessons and the files and folders we use are easily accessible in school and also from
home. We also use i-space and Quicklink to move work from home to school and back again.
There is no escape!”
Jordan Pollock and Aaron Durham (Year 9 Pupils)
Your gateway to a truly personalised
world of teaching and learning
With TALMOS, your community can:
• Personalise the platform to match your organisation’s visual identity
• Communicate and collaborate in a safe environment using web services,
wikis, blogs and forums
• Share news, information and announcements
• Gain easy access to documentation, reports, data and information
• Work flexibly, whenever and from wherever they choose
• Catch up on missed teaching sessions or review them again later
• Manage the entire homework process including allocation, submission,
marking and feedback
• Monitor performance to identify additional support requirements
• Identify opportunities for behavioural rewards and recognition
• Streamline administrative tasks
“ As a teacher, being able to gather
my resources and create my planning
within a single package which can then be
accessed by both pupils and colleagues
is a powerful educational tool. Everything
I need to teach, assess, record and report
is available from a single log in. ”
Mr Kirkbride, Longfield Academy, Darlington
TALMOS components
SharePoint
SharePoint, the web application platform developed
by Microsoft, is used as the TALMOS communication
platform. SharePoint is where users will log on to
access their documents and resources, Microsoft
Office tools, calendars and email. They can also
collaborate from here using wikis, blogs and forums.
Announcements and notices can be posted to keep
everyone well informed.
Integration of standalone education
systems and software
TALMOS can link third party education systems and
software into the integrated environment. This will
allow users to access existing resources from one
single point. Even your existing VLE can be integrated
within the single infrastructure.
TALMOS Management Information

This engine will integrate your organisation’s chosen
MIS into the single environment. Real-time data can
