The core of personalization is through authentication of the user. By enabling users to login with their GWMail username and password, the system will recognize who the user is and what services he or she values. Initially users will be presented with default features that can then be deactivated if undesired. Furthermore, as new features become available, they can be likewise enabled or disabled by each user. In addition, IMAG is continuously exploring new opportunities to continue making GWeb the University s personal favorite.
Plans are already underway to include stock quotes and movie ticket purchases from local theaters.
Expect to see GWeb soon. The Interactive Multimedia Applications Group is dedicated to supporting The George Washington University by creatively solving communication issues through dynamic and innovative application of Internet and Multimedia technologies. Through strong client relationships, IMAG seeks to build, support, and improve the University's processes and operations through interactive development of web-based communication. IMAG provides a dynamic infrastructure that fosters interrelation and interdependence among the different departments and activities of The George Washington University. Your input is appreciated.
