Some new features

FOLD/StudentsOnline is adding bits of functionality every week. Here is a summary of some of the recently added features

StudentsOnline (the public site)

Coursework
The coursework schedule, which includes an indication of coursework read for collection, is listed with each module, e.g. Data Schemas and Applications, with each stage of a programme (helpful for seeing problems with deadlines) e.g. Stage 2 Multimedia and also as a list of the latest available for collection . We are looking at emailing students when coursework is ready and a Foyer display screen.

Joint Honours
Where both halves are in CEMS, we are able to show the complete programme in a single diagram. e.g. Computing and Multimedia

Hyperion (Library Digital Collection)
We have added a link to the module in Hyperion for such exam papers have been lodged there.


FOLD (the Intranet site)

Rooms
A database of teaching rooms with data on the facilities and a link to the room timetable is now included. This is data is maintained mainly by John Mathews and Matt Smith.

Staff Timetables
There is a search box on FOLD to link to a staff members timetable which requires entry of the UWE staff id. This could be directly linked from a staff page on FOLD and we support voluntary opt-in of this feature.
