Tube2 - the worst of errors rectified
Worst of errors are rectified - next we will make minor improvements
The most of the errors or malfunctioning encountered by users should by now be rectified.
Next we will concentrate on minor improvements - easy fixes – for the next weeks. During the spring and later functional improvements will be seen. We will also be able to follow and comment on the feedback and suggestions received.
The front page
The workspaces listing in "Recently updated" do not serve every user in the best way. We will address this with an easy fix.
Announcements on the front page (Latest announcements, News and Events) will stay as is while the rest will be optional. This applies to the "Vacancies" as well now on the front page.
Workspaces
The new Tube has had a lot of feedback that anyone's own workspaces cannot be seen easily and are not navigable. We will have some improvement on this. Later on we will look into the possibility for the user to manage which workspaces to display on the frontpage. All the workspaces can be found alphabetically listed trough the "Workspces" button on the upper navigation bar.
Changes in any worksapce, including the document management part besides the changes in the announcenments, assignments and returning these or in the discussions are notified in the red 'infocircles'. At the moment the front page listing shows at most five most recently updated workspaces in each category: Course, Study realted and General workspaces.
All workspaces created after 1.1.2009 are now transferred. Should you need a workspace created prior to this date please make a service request to the User Support.
Hyperlinks in the documents of the Old Tube were not moved over in the transfer. The hyperlinks will be moved over starting at week 12. Should you have more urgent needs, please go to the Old Tube and copy the links by yourself.
Network drives
Access to network drives is remedied. Users at the Helsinki konservatorio, Pop&Jazz opisto as well as partners will have an error announcement and need to give their password at the first try. Thereupon acces is direct. Single problems are solved based on Helpdesk requests.
WinhaWille sign-on
The single sign-on by students is now working. The SSO-service might ask the user to pass the certificate check. Please see the instructions. https://tietohallinto.metropolia.fi/pages/viewpage.action?pageId=8555315
Announcements
The listing and displaying of announcements will be polished.
Feedback on study modules
Feedback by students can be seen in the appropriate workspace. After commenting on the feedback, it will at the moment not be accessible from the frontpage.
Contact information
The search function will be improved.
Numbers on usage
On Wednesday, March the 10th there were 7.800 users signing on. The total sign-ons on that day was 17.200.
