Features for teachers and students
* students can publish their personal pages. The total number of pages a pupil can have is 99. When a pupil makes or modifies her/his personal page an e-mail message is sent to the teacher. The teacher can check the page and approve, disaprove, delete, or make the page visible.This feature can be enabled/disabled for every individual pupil.
* Projects. A group of students can have a project with pages that are accessible and editable by all group members. When a page, in use by a group member, is accessed by another member, a warning message is given. When the page is 'released', another group member can edit that page. In conjunction with the chat, collaborative, or project based learning becomes available.
* A teacher does not need to enter the Academic Website Managemant system to manage the students pages of her/his group. This makes managing students pages by teachers a simple job done in minutes. Multiple teachers can manage a class. Adding students to a class can also be performed from the site.
* Teachers can also have their own webpages, together with the class and/or together with other teachers.
* An intranet
for teachers. This is the 'Protected Area' in Academic Website, where only teachers have access to. The Protected Area can have its own theme (site design). Giving the 'Protected area' a different design prevents errors like putting 'teachers only' material on the publicly accessible part of the schoolsite.
* Easy management of classes: it's possible to move all students in a class to a new year.
* The possibility to couple teachers and students to modules. This feature is used for example in the Forum module where teachers and students have a closed forum that's password protected and not accessible to the public. The general forums are public-access. This feature can also be used in the development of future modules.
Features for users of Academic Website
* Admins (they are called 'users' in Academic Website) can have various access rights on the system regarding their tasks. Every single user can have or be denied rights to:
o Page management, including/excluding the 'Protected Area'.
o Section management per section.
o File management.
o Module management in general and per module
o Configuration management (and, separately, for every option under Configuration)
o Tools section (and, separately, for every option under Tools).
o Statistics section
These features, in combination with the E-mail alerts makes it possible, for example, to make one pupil responsable for looking after the guestbook and removing undesirable entries. Or give parents the management over the section 'Parents', etc..
* With one mouseclick teachers and/or students can be made users (admins).
* You can copy a user's properties to a new user. This simplifies adding new users.
* Two What You See Is What You Get (WYSIWYG) Editors with a high 'word processor look-alike' design in which it is possible to write and format text, upload pictures, etc..
* Pages on a Academic Website site can be made visible and invisible; an indispensible feature when linking pages to pages, or easy for pages you only use once a year or on special occasions. Or, when you need a lot of time to make a page, you can work on it every now and then and no one will see your work until it's ready.
