Features
Private staff / department pages
Some content may be created for public view, or some may be for students or teachers. Thatâs why each page in Ultranet has its own permission controls, which allows you to set which groups of users have access to view the page, and which groups can edit it. This allows you to set up pages for staff only access.
User messaging
Improved communication is one of the natural spin-offs from harnessing web-based technology to support online learning. The Message Centre available to all users on the Dashboard provides a centralised and tracked area for managing asynchronous communication between students, teachers and parents.

Email without email
Despite the boom in alternative web-communication solutions, emails are still with us and will stay with us for a while yet. However, they are not always available to usersâespecially younger students who may not have access to a school-provided or third-party email service.The Message Centre in Ultranet takes care of this by providing an equitable and integrated solution for sending messages and attachments to other users. Conversations are threaded and tracked, and you can send a message to a single recipient or to a group of individuals.Site-wide integration
The need to communicate with another user could arise at any point within the online learning environment, so itâs important that the functionality is never far away.The Message Centre is always available from usersâ Dashboards and uSpace navigation bar. Additionally, areas such as the Tasks module, Class List or User Admin panel have the Message Centre built-in, so communication can be initiated from numerous areas across Ultranet.Alert options
Message alerts get top level display on the Dashboard, so at a glance you can spot if you have received any new messages since you last checked.For those who like receiving email reminders too, an alert service can be enabled on the Dashboard so that you get notified whenever a message is sent to you in Ultranet.Abuse reporting
Items in the Message Inbox feature the same âReport Abuseâ functionality as featured in uSpace. This means any cases of misuse or cyber-bullying can be reported and traced easily. Individual Message Inboxes can also be disabled, so if a particular student has been misbehaving, you can impose a temporary or permanent block on their access to this feature.Resource Bookings
Teachers and students use a variety of resources in their daily learning activities, from stationery and data projectors to computer labs or the library. The Bookings module provides schools with an electronic booking sheet to manage school resources and online booking of items.
This teacher add-on is included in all websites.
