myNewport - Bespoke Higher Education .NET Intranet & CMS

This year Newport’s Web Team have developed a bespoke internal portal (written in .NET), with targeted content and views for students and staff.  myNewport will replace the existing staff intranet and student mLE (My Learning Essentials), and will be launched before the start of the new academic year.  Learning and teaching material will be held on Moodle 2.0, which will be linked through from myNewport.

It was designed and built from scratch in house by the Web Team, specifically for this purpose.  The CMS (content management system) for myNewport was created for an easy transition for existing users, and it also simplified many standard processes.  Content can be tagged for staff, students, both or private, making it a very powerful and innovative system for higher education.  myNewport has been designed around improving internal communications through targeted internal news, videos and improved delivery of content.

Below is an example of the myNewport homepage, and an example of what a page in the CMS will look like:
