Student Portal

The Student Portal Project was born out of the wider VLE Project. Through student feedback, it was identified there was a need for a “one-stop-shop” system where they could find (or be notified of) the information they needed, when they needed it. 

Previously students would have had to access a number of learning and administrative systems separately to find out key information i.e. library/loan details, timetables, campus services etc.

The Student Portal Project provided a mechanism that would bring all of the relevant information together and present it to students through a single interface (web and mobile based) that can be accessed from anywhere. The solution delivers a personalised, dynamic and interactive experience, pulling content from systems students are used to as well as some new ones.
