About Mobile Views All schools have a database in which student information is stored and this information is accessed through software called a Management Information System (MIS). The SLG Mobile site enables parent/carers and students to access essential student information via the SIMS Learning Gateway using a mobile device.
What You Will Need In order to access SLG Mobile Views, you can use an iOS or an Android-compatible mobile device. Please check the following table to make sure that the OS version and browser of your device is compatible:
Supported Mobile Operating Systems
Mobile OS versions List of compatible devices
Apple iOS 6 http://ipod.about.com/od/iPhoneQandA
Android 4.0.4 (Ice Cream Sandwich)
http://www.buzzle.com/articles/ice-cream- sandwich-compatible-devices.html
Security The data stored and made available by schools via the SIMS Learning Gateway is highly sensitive, and therefore security must be a priority. It is your responsibility to ensure that your user name and password are kept private. Whilst the software has been designed to prevent access to highly personal student information, access to the site must be protected.
IMPORTANT NOTE: Always ensure that you log out of the SLG Mobile site and close the browser on your mobile device, otherwise you may leave it open for use by unauthorised persons.
