This handbook is -a comprehensive guide on how to install, administer, and use AlekSIS and -all included official apps. Its target audience are system -administrators seeking to install and maintain an AlekSIS installation, -people supporting the use of AlekSIS in daily processes in educational -organisations, and end users who work with the software on a daily -basis. - -On School Information Systems ------------------------------ - -School Information Systems, or for short, SIS, are software suites that -help educational organisations with managing personal information about -all members (e.g. students, teachers, parents and guardians) as well as -organisational data like plans, pedagogic track records, and much more. - -Generally, the goal of using School Information Systems is to help -members of the school or other educational organisation to organise -their work in learning and teaching, and to simplify digital processes, -especially those that involve analytical evaluation, statistics, or -information that is updated very frequently and should be made available -to its recipients in a timely manner. - -Ideally, School Information Systems also promote transparency between -teachers and students and improve sustainability by minimising the need -for paperwork. - -AlekSIS, the Free School Information System -------------------------------------------- - -School Information Systems have been on the rise ever since schools -began digitising their management processes. Traditionally, the vendors -of school management tools (like for timetabling, personal data -management of teachers and students, etc.) also deliver wen applications -that are tailored towards making the respective data available to those -who need it. - -As most of these solutions are proprietary products, they tend to be -limited to be used together with other software of their vendors, and do -not integrate nicely with other software and with processes and data -sets not in the focus of the developers. - -AlekSIS, in contrast, is a generic School Information System that aims -at being universally usable for all processes and data sets in any -educational organisation, and at interacting closely with other software -components employed in management and lessons. You can find information -on the possibilities for interacting with other software in the chapter -[@sec:Integrations]. - -The development and product team has set the following goals for -AlekSIS, in their dedication to support learning and teaching in the -digital world: - -- Create a high-quality software product, adhering to high standards - regarding data protection, data safety, security, and stability -- Comply with as many national and regional data protection and school - laws as possible (cf. [@sec:Legal]) -- Provide an extensible framework, allowing schools or their supporting - IT companies to create their own apps (cf. [@sec:Development]) -- Help coding clubs and classes to understand the development as deeply - as necessary to use AlekSIS for learning and creating their own apps -- Keep AlekSIS free, open, and transparent (cf. [@sec:FOSS])
