WebNote's just around the corner

The. NET development team has completed the second phase of StudentNET WebNote. The WebNote is an area within the University's student portal that displays important messages to students, including reminders to do certain admin tasks.

We wanted to make this tool as flexible as possible so that massages could be sent to all students if necessary or just one individual, and anything in between.

So we have devised an admin tool that allows our staff to do just that. We have also de-coupled the different parts of the system. In the middle of it sits the messaging interface which has been deployed as a webservice and can be called by any application. This means that we can send automated messages as well.

The whole system will be handed over into production by the end of this month.
