So for my next big review...the School of the Art Institute of Chicago's portal. Since I use this portal daily, I figured for today's review I am going to change format and bullet-point likes and dislikes.
Likes:
- That our school has a portal...when I was in undergrad (which was a long time ago) we were not blessed with having all of your information in one location. Trust me, it is nice to find your information on a website instead of from events posted with warn out chalk on the quad of your school.
- That we have the ability to customize the portal even though I haven't done it yet.
- The rotating featured SAIC art.
- The day's events not only at the school but at the museum...good information to have.
- The way I can access everything about each of my courses, past and present. I also like how I can email everyone.
- Its overall color scheme is grey with hints of maroon and light blue....aesthetically it feels really sad and depressing especially for an art school.
- To access the portal is quite difficult due to it's oversensitivity when you are logging on.
- Email...especially finding everyone's addresses. This seems really difficult or maybe it is just me.
- There is a lot of information and I wish it was organized more effectively.

you have to take the good with the bad sometimes, but you can always try to minimize the bad, right? e-mail and design have been the most common complaints thus far. several of the issues can be fixed fairly easily, but i think your last point hits the nail on the head. they need some organization of all the material! that and a bit of a design tweak would silence many of the critics.
How did you do that long tab on the right with the alternating images? Can you write the "how to" on the blog?
