Streaming Video
Schools across the country are uploading videos to their websites using our content management system.
Think about the possibilities: school performances; field trips; experiments; talking heads; sports events; and showcases of student work.
Here are two examples taken from St Mary's Church of England Primary School and the Thomas Deacon Academy websites:
Podcasting
Schools across the UK can now upload podcasts to their websites using our content management system.
Now you can make your newsletter available as a podcast, make your school radio available for download or involve students by setting up your own podcast club.
Here are four primary schools that have done exactly that:
Blogs
Blogs have grown in popularity and are an invaluable way of communicating with visitors and inviting feedback.
Blogging comes as a standard feature of our content management system. This has undoubtedly improved interaction between education organisations and their stakeholders
Head teachers can invite feedback from parents and the community; or teachers can use blogging to communicate with students on specific topics.
Photo Galleries
Our photo gallery application is the perfect way to quickly publish photographs or images onto your school website. The images are automatically resized and the software creates an impressive slide show. It's incredibly easy to do and you can add lots of different galleries in minutes.
News and events (RSS feeds)
Our content management system delivers dynamic news in many different formats. Parents and community members can simply visit your website, register to receive e-mails or texts, or subscribe to RSS feeds so they can be automatically notified as new stories are published.
This is an excellent way of keeping parents and the community updated with what is going on in your school.
Calendar
We have developed a calendar application that is perfect for schools. Now they can create multiple calendars for different groups and post single or recurring events. It's simple to do and new events will automatically appear on the home page of your school website.
Home page configuration
Keeping your home page current and fresh is very important. With our content management system every time you upload a news article, calendar event, photo gallery or video it will automatically appear on the home page. You will also have total control of navigation and even have the ability to change images in the main design.
Web forums
Forums are sometimes known as messages boards or bulletin boards. They are a hugely popular way for groups to hold discussions
We have developed a secure web forum which is an integral part of our content management system.
It enables school communities to post bulletins and messages onto their website and ultimately improve communication between teachers and students.
E-Shop
Bring your school shop into the 21st century by giving parents and students the capability to purchase uniforms, buy books and pay for school trips through your school website.
Our content management system allows schools to create an online shop for parents to source and pay for items electronically. You can also use this to promote items as part of a young enterprise scheme.
Secure areas
Our content management system allows schools and education organisations to publish information into secure areas of their website which are password protected.
This is very useful for groups of teachers, governors, students or education practitioners needing to share information or communicate securely.
Site Search
Although we strive to design usable and well organised websites sometimes a site search is required. Ordinarily when a website gets to about one hundred pages the site search becomes a useful tool for the visitor.
Our content management system has a powerful key word search system that makes it easy to find articles, news and web pages on our websites.
It's ideal for clusters, partnerships or larger secondary school websites.
