Emerson College has embarked on a multi-year project to design and build an interactive and customizable Web portal that will support college–wide initiatives in multimodal literacy and integrative learning. The project’s main goal will be to develop a set of standards for Web portal technologies that will integrate with the College’s existing systems for database and Web content management, and that will allow customization to the needs of specific program areas and/or specific workgroups. Over the next three years, the College will develop a “toolkit” of proprietary, non-proprietary, and locally developed Web applications to support teaching and learning and to extend and make more coherent the interactive resources available to faculty and students.
