Social-Science.co.uk
Dare I say, the website re-design is almost done, give or take the odd javascript problem.
I’m hoping that by the beginning of next week I can send out an email to all the previously registered tutors to ask them to have a play around and see if there is anything they can break.
There are quite a few improvements and changes to the site, although the principles behind it are still the same: to provide OCR A Level Psychology students and tutors with the opportunity to complete practice exam questions online with peer or tutor assessment.
The Big Changes
- Tutors can add practice questions for other examining bodies at any level.
- Members can create their own profile pages and add friends from other schools.
- Students can sign up independently of a tutor and ‘go solo’ if they wish, or pester their tutor into signing up too.
- There is a fully functioning suite of Virtual Classrooms (chat), with the possibility for members to add their own rooms.
- Tutors can generate automatic reports on students’ progress (or they will be able to by next week!).
There are a few other new features too, then lots of changes to do with layout, colour and making the site W3C / DDA compliant.
The temporary address for the re-design is www.social-science.co.uk/2008 - some things may not work as expected but feel free to play around.
