Short Paragraph Describing uPortal Webinar Content

uPortal is the leading open source enterprise portal framework built by and for the Higher Education community that scales to support hundreds of thousands of users. uPortal is a mature platform, benefiting from a decade and a half of development, adoption, collaboration, community, and evolution. Hundreds of schools worldwide have used uPortal to deliver content and services tailored to their users' own identities – by role(s), user attributes, group affiliations, etc. The latest uPortal release is version 4.1. uPortal 4.1 is a significant and exciting update because it includes Respondr – the new Responsive Design theme for uPortal based on Bootstrap 3. Respondr represents a complete re-boot of the portal front-end. It is clean, modern, usable, and responsive.

Come see uPortal 4.1 and Respondr in action. We will offer a high-level discussion of uPortal, the things it does best, and its role in campus computing. We will take an in-depth look at version 4.1 and Respondr, including its Regions system for organizing the portal page, enhanced search capabilities, the Portlet Marketplace (think "App Store"), strategies for getting content into the portal quickly, and more. We will also take a look at some of the work that's going on now, letting you know what to expect in uPortal 4.2 and beyond.
