A good intranet should evolve with its users, over the last eleven years C Space has has increased its focus on learning resources and course planning, this project continues this theme via web controls and widgets . seeSpace is an area of C Space that combines a number of widgets, web controls, online forums along with content generated and published by students.
We are changing the way we are deilvering technology and services via widgets and web controls.
seeFeeds is a web control that allows Students and Teachers to add RSS feeds as learning resources.
Students have often asked for C Space to display the current weather, this tool utilises Yahoo weather to display Southend meteorological information.
seeNotes is a notepad, a scratch pad, a personal space for students to add notes, reminders or even a shopping list!
seeLinks is a control that allows Students to add links to various documents, blogs etc. The main benefit is that these links will be available on C Space even if the Student or Teacher logs into the intranet remotely, unlike standard browser favourites which are tied to user profiles.
We have given the Student Council the ability to publish content on C Space, this control pulls out the latest article.
