Media files such as digital photos, scanned documents, video clips and audio files are ‘imported’ into School Life and then indexed, linked and organised from within the software. During the import process School Life creates a thumbnail image of the file, stores this in the database and creates a link to the physical file wherever it currently resides on the network. Files of all sorts (including files from Windows-based applications) can be linked to events in a multi-user school diary, to people, to places, to the curriculum and to each other.

School Life is designed to run on your school’s local area network (LAN). If you use a client/server network where the desktop PCs connect into a dedicated server then the School Life database would typically be installed on the server. If you use a simple ‘peer-to-peer’ network then the database would need to be installed on a desktop PC which is usually powered up and available during the day so that other PCs can connect to it.

School Life is a modern multi-media software application and has no special hardware requirements over and above other similar applications. Most PCs purchased since 2002/3 should meet the following requirements:

Dedicated Database Server (or PC acting as server)
Windows 2000 with SP4
