Adobe Dreamweaver Vs Front Page

[Eltech] General structure and construction of the learning platform metacoon

metacoon that the interested viewer is quite early in the eye, is a very well structured learning platform. Clearly separate areas enable smooth working. The upper horizontal area can be considered as the main menu.

With the "desk", the enrollment in the various learning areas to be managed. The metacoon side of the TU Ilmenau for example, offers a broad portfolio of available spaces, thematically similar to the selection of the prestigious courses to pass in university.

appears on the left side of the desk also a small menu selection, on the one titled with "organization", where all the news of their own rooms, new entries in the learning materials, pool (more on that later) finds, as well as a calendar as a guidance for time not very potent natures is ready. The second one is another small menu sticks with the name "storage" in the exercise, here are all previously uploaded images are also written notes by the user.

With the "active learning" in the horizontal main menu at the top to get to the above-mentioned study materials pool. Here you will find all the faculty and staff provided materials, a part of the learning spaces in which one is registered as a user.

first is for all students with a collection of materials for the use of Metacoonsystems without restrictions. Another plus for the use!

The last walkable area is now the "communication" dar. Behind this rather cryptic formulation of the hidden but extremely strong social aspect of metacoon and turns it into a buddy and getting to learn system, even if of course targeted only to the internal price and purely professional relationship. Starting under "tools" with the discussion boards of the spaces in which one is registered on the bulletin boards that are supposedly important information is passed on to users, to address books and instant messaging, which primarily the strengthening of social solidarity and the rapid availability is attributed to employees.

Another social expression make the business cards and therefore the profiles of individual users dar. Here is now under "Who's Who" where a list of all users of the standard University metacoon platform. In connection with this course are also the user's data itself to view very clearly and to change under a scanning "my data", which is the last unit makes little menu on the left side of the upper menu "Communication".

is the last item in the main menu is the obligatory help guide, for those users who through the metacoon portal with all the best will want to find or can not cope.

All in all, as already mentioned, a very clear portal frames with clearly separated within the site. It invites the user almost a help to use it and discover another joyous aspect in the modern, computer-and internetdominiertem learning. I deliberately use here is not the evil "Learning" with the word "e" in front, reasons are to be derived from our first online Roundtable.

That concludes my first blog entry to the seminar! Over and out!
