On 5th September the first phase of the Refresh shuspace project went ahead successfully with changes to the shuspace interface, tabs and channels.  Staff and students can find out more about the new interface by logging into shuspace, and looking for the Have You Seen channel on that first page (the My SHU tab), where there are links to FAQs and screencasts introducing the changes.  There will shortly be a crib sheet that staff can use and disseminate when working with students.

Over the next few months we’ll be implementing the second phase of the project – the re-developed and re-presented information.  All information will have been replaced by the new style information by September 2012.

As a reminder – if at all possible please avoid giving students URLs to specific pages of information in shuspace. One key reason for this being that urls are likely to change as information and structure changes (and will continue to do so).  The search facility will improve as the new style information is introduced, and so students will be able to find the information they need much more easily using simple search terms and the new navigational structure.  If you’d like more guidance, or have any questions about the project please get in touch by emailing refreshshupace@shu.ac.uk.
