KnowledgePortal Features
Utilising innovative, Web 2.0 development techniques such as AJAX, KnowledgePortal is built to host a massive range of materials which can be networked together by MetaData. Together these materials form a powerful social learning platform. The range of resources which integrate into KnowledgePortal includes:
- Podcasts (including RSS feeds)
- Streaming Video
- Blogs
- Wiki (a user editable encyclopaedia)
- MultiContent System, for uploading or linking to any form of media and enabling users to rate resources
- MyCourse System, for displaying Course Information, Calendar function and uploading of pre/during/post course materials.
In addition to these features KnowledgePortal also introduces social learning tools:
- Discussion Boards
- Group Creation and ‘Chat’
- Document Sharing
- Grading system for ranking articles
- Comments facility
- Internal Email system
- Contact Lists
And to deliver all of this within a personalised and customisable framework, KnowledgePortal’s exclusive Voucher system allows for administrators to quickly create a bespoke look and feel for different user groups whilst limiting access to only those materials which are appropriate for that user group.
