Workshop Session B3:
"Intranet Managers' Community Session"
This page provides details for the workshop session on
"Intranet Managers' Community Session".
- Title:
- Intranet Managers' Community Session
- Facilitator:
- Keith Doyle, University of Salford
- Abstract:
- What is an intranet? Everyone has their own view of this. Is it content
for just staff? Is it content for staff and students? Is it password
protected content? Is it content which is only available within the
firewall. All of these definitions can still be heard. For the purposes
of this session, it will mean content, services and portals for internal
users - staff and students - but excluding the Virtual Learning
Environment, as this has its own technologies and strategies.
In most educational institutions, the intranet is not seen as a priority
as, not unexpectedly, it often comes third behind student information
and the virtual learning environment. However, the intranet can
potentially make a huge difference to institutional admininistrative
systems. This can improve efficiency, simplify work processes and
therefore indirectly improve the student experience.
In this session, Keith Doyle will outline the elements of the University
of Salford's intranet and describe the four key elements of information
architecture and how they have informed the development of the
University of Salford intranet. There will be a chance for all
participants to share local developments and examples of good practise
in intranet and portal developments, with the ability to view
institution's password protected intranets. There will be a discussion
of how a peer group might help support developments in this field.
- By the end of the session participants will:
- Gain a better understanding of existing activity around intranets and portals
- Meet up with other people interested in this area, and raise the profile and energy around intranets.
