Generic websites

A generic website is a website that supports more than one unit of study. It may be created to:

• support students on professional placement (across semesters)
• provide program-wide information for a degree cohort
• provide resources for teaching staff

A generic website has a more flexible time frame than a UoS website and may run over a full year. Some examples of full year generic websites include 2011 Bachelor of Horticultural Science or 2011 Beginners Modern Hebrew.

A generic website usually includes more than one UoS code or degree code or may have manually enrolled participants (as in the case of a website for staff members). To summarise, the key features of a generic website are

• it is usually linked to more than one UoS code or a program or degree code
• the access start and end dates are flexibly determined (up to one year)
• the audience may be students or staff
