UMS Welcome

UMS Welcome makes it easy to gather all relevant information for new users in one place, helping students to get off to a good start. The initial communication between the school and the new users is extremely important and therefore it can be an advantage for you to use the welcome portal to welcome new students, course participants and staff.

The welcome portal will show new users for examples 5 pages that introduces them to the most important information and thus ensures that they start using the school’s technology right from the start. The school decides how many pages are shown and what information they contain.

Ideas for Welcome portal content

• Inviting front page and welcome to the school
• Acceptance of IT rules
• Registration for digital services, such as UMS SMS Subscription, where the user receives a timetable, timetable changes, school news and grades from the school by SMS
• Update user info and change password at first logon
• Introduction to the school via video, for example
• Direct link to the school’s online systems such as library, app or administrative system

Much of your work has already been done in the editor

The editor is a WYSIWYG editor (what-you-see-is-what-you-get). You can use the editor without knowing anything about codes. However, if you prefer to work in HTML in the editor, this is possible too.

The school can easily target the welcome to make it relevant for users and create a sense of affiliation, even before the course has started.

• Design your own welcome or use the predefined templates
• There is a preview function
• Style the welcome portal according to the school’s graphic design and maximise your branding

The welcome portal is designed to fit all browsers.
