Changes to QMplus landing pages for page owners

Published:

On Friday 30th June, the E-Learning Unit ran an event aimed at landing page owners where Brett Lucas outlined the changes that are coming and the steps that are necessary for page owners to take as soon as possible after the new QMplus becomes available to all on Thursday 13th July. This article provides access to the resources that were disseminated there. It is primarily aimed at those members of staff who have responsibility for maintaining QMplus landing pages but others may find some of the topics useful. 

Context

A landing page on QMplus is a page that a user is automatically directed to when they log in. Currently, most students have landing pages and the majority of these are maintained at School or Department level but it is also possible to have landing pages for programmes of study. The landing page is generally a place for Schools, Departments and programmes to provide useful information and are generally maintained by someone in the School or Department or a programme administrator. Currently staff do not have a landing page but are directed to the QMplus "logged in" home page.

The upgrade to QMplus will bring a number of changes to landing pages which will will affect all users, staff and students. In particular:

  • All users, staff and students, will have a QMplus landing page. Initially, QMplus will attempt to work out what an individual’s landing page should be based on the modules they are enrolled in.
  • This landing page will then become the user’s "QMplus home" page. When they click on the QMplus icon, they will be taken to their landing page.
  • A new landing page format makes pages easier to maintain and provides ways in which content can be made more visually appealling.
