Learning and Academic Institutions
A Bryght site is blogging on steroids and a Content Management System (CMS) on steroids; it has the best features of both.
Blogs are networked digital paper and easy to use content management; CMSes allow you to share your content with others.
The uses for Bryght sites in education are many. Here are some possible ones of the just one feature of Bryght sites, blogs:
- One blog per student to serve as an efolio, eportfolia and living resume
- One blog per professor to allow faculty to reach out and share and interact beyond academia
- A protected blog or blogs for each course to allow students and faculty to discuss and share course related media
- A blog for a department
All of the above could be part of one Bryght site or multiple; there are no limits and it really depends on how your institution is organized.
And of course when you add in events and forums and the many other Bryght feature to enable sharing of common milestones and meetings and discussions, a Bryght site could be used for:
- a department
- a faculty
- an institute
- an entire university or school
- a student union
- a student club
- an alumini organization
and anything in between.
Don't forget that Bryght sites are UTF clean which for non technical folks means that your content can be in multiple languages including non Roman languages (e.g. Japanese, Chinese, Korean, Arabic, etc.) 'out of the box' . This is a critical feature for today's multicultural and diverse educational institutions.
So this means that Bryght sites can also be used at:
- ESL schools
- language schools
There are many types of educational sites, so the following sections are blank. In the future, we will add separate pages for typical educational Bryght sites where we will document enabled modules, roles and permissions and default workflow.
