Following last weekend’s Blackboard upgrade, a refresh of SHUspace is now underway. You may have noticed some of the changes already, others are still in the process of being implemented and are expected to be finished by the end of the week.
This refresh has been driven by student feedback about SHUspace which highlighted a need to reduce clutter on tabs, make the most used tools more prominent and improve access from mobile devices.
Some of the modifications include:
- A new banner and colour scheme
- A responsive display which automatically adapts the design of the webpage to suit the device on which it is accessed
- The login page now allows search of SHUspace content, so new students can access information before they have an institutional login. It also has a single prominent message, enabling the University to target key messages to students more strongly
- The bar at the top of MySHU has been removed to create more space on the page. The search channel will be added into the right-hand column soon. In the meantime, please use the search box on another tab – such as University Life
For details of other changes which have already happened or are taking place now, please see our blog article. We appreciate your patience while SHUspace undergoes these changes to improve the student experience.
