SJDC Announcements Channel
- Andrew Petro
Description
A one-hour during-conference presentation on the SJDC Announcements Channel, showing it in action in a demo environment (with backup static slides).
The SJDC Announcements Channel was developed as a customization of the existing Columbia Announcements Channel, building beyond the codebase implementing customizations for CSU Chico.
This presentation will discuss what this channel is, where one can get it, and walk through configuring it and meeting announcements and alerts use cases using it.
Why might this presentation be good for JA-SIG?
This seminar helps to showcase free and open source add-on functionality for use with uPortal, helping to combat the "uPortal is empty" problem and helping to evangelize JA-SIG's existing investment in this software.
This seminar helps to educate about key uPortal concepts, including groups, permissions, channels in "helper mode".
This channel addresses a common portal use case, alerts and announcements.
