It is the intranet's internal flexibility that is its real power and it is in the Interact section that it is most apparent. The discussions cover everything from where to party to when the best business advice will be available. Students are organised into study groups, terms, years, courses and other groupings. Discussion replies can be filtered so that only the appropriate person can see the response. This makes the building of ad hoc teams easy and networking, an essential business skill, is quickly harnessed.
Courses shows the courses that are available at the school.
Your Profile , contains the address details and a list of the teams the member belongs to. Resources allows members to view documents published by staff within the school, browse the useful Web-site links gathered by the library and access online business information. Search allows users to search the entire Forum site. Comments allows members to forward their comments to the manager of the Forum. The part of this intranet that is likely to most facilitate e-commerce is certainly the address book.
