iwmwlive: Josef Lapka is next up, discussing the StudentNet Portal (still using #iwmw10 #p8 as the tags for this session) [08:41GMT]

m1ke_ellis: @kammer in this day and age, people shouldn't have to live with unintuitive technology. It has the potential to be easy #iwmw10 [08:41GMT]

rssidhu: Ps I don't hate Twitter #iwmw10 [08:41GMT]

iwmwlive: Josef's slides are available at http://ow.ly/2bclA #iwmw10 #p8 [08:42GMT]

spellerlive: #iwmw10 #p8 Canterbury Christ Church StudentNET 2006 was a 20 development - impressive [08:43GMT]

m1ke_ellis: @kammer Yeah, it's sad when the single most important people (editors) for the single most important thing (content) are overlooked #iwmw10 [08:43GMT]

iwmwlive: Their main problem was students failing to re-enrol. The development was fast tracked after the registrar did his own in access #iwmw10 #p8 [08:43GMT]

PlanetClaire: Different online experiences for the different audiences. #iwmw10 #p8# [08:44GMT]

iwmwlive: In 2007, IWMW inspired them to bring together all of their ideas about supporting the student with their system #iwmw10 #p8 [08:44GMT]

deanohale: #iwmw10 finally practical talks about what uni's are actually doing #p8 more next year pls. [08:44GMT]

iwmwlive: The challenge was to build a consistent, engaging, interesting relationship development tool #iwmw10 #p8 [08:45GMT]

spellerlive: #iwmw10 #p8 Chris Church portal inspired by @alisonkerwin talk at #iwmw07 [08:45GMT]

mariekeguy: #iwmw10 #p8 great to hear Josef Lapka say his portal work was inspired by iwmw [08:45GMT]

iwmwlive: They wanted to exceed what was available commercially in terms of look and feel #iwmw10 #p8 [08:45GMT]

m1ke_ellis: @webpackets yes, of course, but if each new iteration is pushed towards usability and content then it'll sort? / cc @kammer #iwmw10 [08:46GMT]

NIMRweb: RT @iwmwlive 7 commandments of CMS: "Training is cheap" - it is the most cost effective way to improve your website #iwmw10 #p8 [08:46GMT]

liwazi: studentNet - student portal from Canterbury Christ Church Univ is like CAMSIS in Cambridge Univ, but better, much better #iwmw10 #p8 [08:46GMT]

NIMRweb: RT @spellerlive #iwmw10 #p8 7 Commandments: keep 90% happy, one voice, training is cheap, content is expensive, users will guess in doubt... [08:46GMT]

adriant: RT @deanohale: #iwmw10 finally practical talks about what uni's are actually doing #p8 more next year pls. <- I second that!! [08:47GMT]

iwmwlive: They reviewed sharepoint, but deemed it too clunky for their purposes #iwmw10 #p8 [08:47GMT]

NIMRweb: RT @iwmwlive 7 commandments of CMS: "Avoid unnecessary flexibility" #iwmw10 #p8 [08:47GMT]

Webdunk: RT @iwmwlive: They reviewed sharepoint, but deemed it too clunky for their purposes #iwmw10 #p8 [08:47GMT]

spellerlive: #iwmw10 #p8 MOSS to clunky for portal development... [08:47GMT]

iwmwlive: Complete in-house development would be a mammoth task, so they went for the Drop Things open source framework #iwmw10 #p8 [08:48GMT]

RellyAB: Content. I declare it the big elephant in academic rooms. #iwmw10 [08:48GMT]

iwmwlive: Students have 3 zones: an app area zone a side area zone and a regular widget zone #iwmw10 #p8 [08:49GMT]

spellerlive: #iwmw10 #p8 DropThings framework still looks like it works like MOSS. [08:49GMT]

webpackets: RT @spellerlive: #iwmw10 #p8 MOSS to clunky for portal development... [08:50GMT]

NIMRweb: RT @webpackets #iwmw10 #p8 It's a good thing to remind web editors that you are trusting them with the reputation of the University [08:50GMT]

balmaha: #iwmw10 iwmw word of the conference is "clunky" [08:50GMT]

balmaha: RT @Webdunk: RT @iwmwlive: They reviewed sharepoint, but deemed it too clunky for their purposes #iwmw10 #p8 [08:51GMT]

PlanetClaire: Who owns the student portal? Internal comms, web team, student services? #iwmw10 #p8 [08:51GMT]

webpackets: #iwmw10 #p8 Good to catch up on this project, attended the barcamp last year on the early stages of it. [08:51GMT]

iwmwlive: There was no recoding necessary - they tool the old system and compressed into widgets, so the migration was quite easy #iwmw10 #p8 [08:52GMT]

iwmwlive: The architecture is so granular that they can send individual messages to specific users, or groups of users #iwmw10 #p8 [08:53GMT]

Pete_Hyena: StudentNET communication really good #iwmw10 [08:53GMT]

spellerlive: #iwmw10 #p8 Comms widget to send personalised alerts - nicely done - even if it is all .NET :( [08:54GMT]

NIMRweb: RT @liwazi studentNet - Canterbury Christ Church Univ is like CAMSIS in Cambridge Univ, but better #iwmw10 #p8 [08:54GMT]

andypowe11: drat... just tweeted the most amazing joke without using #iwmw10 hashtag - gutted! [08:54GMT]

PlanetClaire: StudentNET looks fab! MIght have to pay a visit to Canterbury! #iwmw10 #p8 [08:55GMT]

NIMRweb: RT @iwmwlive Complete in-house development would be a mammoth task, so they went for the Drop Things open source framework #iwmw10 #p8 [08:55GMT]

RellyAB: Sounds like I'm missing a talk I'd have had some opinions to bandy about. #iwmw10 [08:55GMT]

iwmwlive: Changes happen in real time with a max 30 min delay #iwmw10 #p8 [08:56GMT]

iwmwlive: The portal acts as a wrapping paper around all the corporate information systems #iwmw10 #p8 [08:57GMT]

mecb: @PlanetClaire Excellent idea - I recommend it! StudentNet looks cool and the city is lovely #iwmw10 #p8 [08:57GMT]

kammer: If your Uni doesn't have a Student Portal, who owns the right or has the resources to start one? @PlanetClaire #iwmw10 [08:58GMT]

iwmwlive: It takes 5-10 days to build a new widget so can release requested improvements on an ongoing basis #iwmw10 #p8 [08:58GMT]

ostephens: #iwmw10 #p8 the problem with this stuff is almost always getting access to the data - not building the code/widgets [08:58GMT]

spellerlive: #iwmw10 #p8 Use of the campusM API to pull data in as future development - interesting - I'm looking at that too... [08:58GMT]

mariekeguy: Reminder all #iwmw10 #p8 slides are at http://www.slideshare.net/event/iwmw2010 [08:58GMT]

fooflington: Woo! Chrome on #iwmw10 [08:58GMT]

webpackets: RT @iwmwlive The portal acts as a wrapping paper around all the corporate information systems #iwmw10 #p8 <- Like this imagery [08:58GMT]

webpackets: RT @ostephens #iwmw10 #p8 the problem with this stuff is almost always getting access to the data - not building the code/widgets <- I agree [09:00GMT]

nigelbradley: #iwmw10 3 cheers for live demos [09:00GMT]

iwmwlive: Josef is now demonstrating how easy it is to move things around and delete unwanted widgets #iwmw10 #p8 [09:00GMT]

PlanetClaire: @kammer We don't have one but need one. Internal comms are going to drive it forward with web, IT, student services, etc on board. #iwmw10 [09:01GMT]

iwmwlive: Students can easily add new widgets and change their theme to personalise their portal space #iwmw10 #p8 [09:02GMT]

webpackets: #iwmw10 #p8 I like the studentnet portal - seems really well thought out, designed and most importantly usable for the students [09:03GMT]

spellerlive: #iwmw10 #p8 Contextural help for each widget - all works very smoothly. [09:03GMT]

garethbraid: Liking the look and functionality of the Student portal currently being demonstrated at #iwmw10 [09:03GMT]

mancypino: Loving the Student Portal demo! #iwmw10 #p8 [09:03GMT]

pip: as much as I like the portal, is it just me that thinks 5,10,15 days for a new widget is a really long time? #iwmw10 [09:03GMT]

PlanetClaire: Brilliant talk there from Josef. Time to revisit the student portal project methinks. #iwmw10 #p8 [09:03GMT]

ostephens: #iwmw10 #p8 think the UI of StudentNET looks nice - strength of building on something from outside the sector, non-corporate ? [09:03GMT]

spellerlive: #iwmw10 #p8 CCCU - very nice job! [09:03GMT]
