LSIM
What it is
LSIM is a web application for recording and managing student information linked to Individual Education Plans and Student Learning Plans. Learning Support Coordinators, teachers and Educational Assistants can view or enter plan data. IEP records may include goals, objectives, strategies, evaluation criteria, daily progress levels and related logs. Student Learning Plans can hold campus-specific details and activity records for students requiring assistance, while schools can customize adaptations, assessments and plan fields by campus. Reports include IEPs, SLPs, monthly progress, term reports and activity logs. LSIM connects to Active Directory for access control and single sign-on, and can receive periodic read-only updates from a school’s master student database. Communications are encrypted, with access limited by assignment and role. The web application supports Edge, Chrome, Firefox, Opera and Safari. Listed hosting requirements include SQL Server 2014 or later and IIS 8.5 or later on Windows Server 2012 R2 or later. Pricing is available by quote.
