Home Pages (landing pages) in QMplus

My home pages are an important feature of QMplus. This is the school home page that appears when you log in and is where you are taken if you click on the QMplus logo. For the majority of staff and students, your home page will be a School or Departmental page however home pages can also be defined for a programme of study.

The advantages of home pages are:

• They provide a connection between the modules/courses that our students are taking and the programme/school or institute they are studying in.
• They enable communication of key information to all staff and students in your school.
