KEATS has been upgraded, bringing a variety of improvements to the staff and student user experience. The existing functionality of KEATS will still be core to your teaching and learning, but the user experience has a new, modern look and feel making it more intuitive and user-friendly.
Follow the KEATS Upgrade posts on the Digital Education Blog and book on an online Introduction to Moodle 4 session via Skills Forge to keep up-to-date with developments.
Improved Dashboard & Separate My Course Page
When you login to KEATS your Dashboard will allow easy access to courses you have recently accessed and provide you with a timeline highlighting activities which have tasks and deadlines upcoming. A separate ‘My Courses’ page is also available allowing you search, access and highlight important courses for you.
Navigable Table of Contents within Courses
When accessing a KEATS course, an Index Drawer is provided on the left of screen to allow you easy access to different sections and resources within the course. This index is collapsible/expandable to allow individuals to focus better on the main content as needed.
Collapsible Blocks & Resources
Similar to the table of contents, a series of blocks and resources are available on the right of screen via a collapsible/expandable Block Drawer. These blocks provide you with access to key resources and information, but can be minimised to declutter the screen as needed.
Please note, faculties and departments use KEATS in different ways and may have different templates and approaches for you to be aware of. If you are in the middle of teaching during this upgrade and are experiencing unexpected changes, please do contact your Module Leader in the first instance.
