Laulima For Students: My Workspace

My Workspace: is an individual online worksite that functions as a private workspace for each user. When you log in, you will automatically open your My Workspace, which will display the Message of the Day and My Workspace Information boxes. By default, these boxes contain announcements and information from the system administrator. A site owner can revise what appears in the My Workspace Information box by clicking Options. Only a system administrator can modify the contents of the Message of the Day box, but a site owner can click Options to customize how announcements will display in the window. Home: you will see areas for general information and synoptic views for communication tools used in your site. Additionally, you can view and alter your privacy status for the site. Message of the Day: contain announcements and information from the system administrator. Calendar/Schedule: A summarized version of the Schedule tool appears on the Home page of individual worksites. Site participants can see a summary of upcoming scheduled events. Days that contain events are highlighted. Announcements: The Announcements tool is used to inform site participants about current items of interest. Announcements can have multiple attachments, such as documents or URLs. To see the Announcements from all the sites to which you belong, in the menubar of My Workspace, click Announcements. Schedule: Schedule allows instructors or site organizers to post items in a calendar format. The calendar has day, week, month, year, and flat list views. Many instructors use Schedule to post readings for each class on the day they are due to be read. Resources: Using the Resources tool, you can share many kinds of material securely with members of your site, or make them available to the public. You also have your own private Resources area in your My Workspace. You can upload files (e.g., word processing documents, spreadsheets, slide presentations, and videos), as well as create and post HTML (web) pages and simple text documents, and share links to useful web sites. You can organize your Resources items into folders, and you can control which groups or types of users can access and add to different folders. Also, you can show or hide an item at any time, and set a start and/or end time for its availability. Anouncements: from My Workspace, you can view a consolidated list of announcements from all your sites. Preferences: in My Workspace you can set Preferences for how and how often you receive email notification of worksite activity, such as Email Archive messages, Announcements, and added Resources. You can also choose the worksites for which you'd like to see tabs.
