John, thanks for the positive feedback. Yes, you can give parents online access to see attendance data and academic progress for their children. And yes, there is an additional module called Moodle, which sets up some database views to allow connection from Moodle to such in course and class data into Moodle. Once you have the module installed, you can sync by following these instructions: https://gibbonedu.org/support/administrators/connecting-to-moodle/
Charles, thanks for your interest in Gibbon. I would suggest you follow the install guide at the following link:
http://gibbonedu.org/support/administrators/installing-gibbon/
It is not illustrated, but should help. If you have any specific questions, let me know. Are you familiar with installing web-based software, such as WordPress or Drupal? The process is much the same. It is not too complex, but some technical knowledge is really required.
Once you get it installed, this link will help you to understand how Gibbon is structured:

If you have any questions, please email support@gibbonedu.org.
Thanks,
Ross
