About the Portals Project

The University has two core portals – one each for students and staff. MyGlasgow portal provides secure access to university systems and services. Last year we upgraded our portal technology to make sure it was robust and sustainable. However, recent radical changes in the working and learning environment has told us that our portals should play a much bigger role as a reliable place to go to support our staff and students.

We decided to focus on designing and developing the next generation of our portals, working with staff and students to make sure that the new technology fulfilled their needs, and provided platforms for accessing and interacting with future services.

Using approaches developed and used by the UofG Life App team, we carried out extensive Discovery work to understand more about how the portals should operate, gaining significant knowledge from workshops with students and staff, and this insight helped shape our Portals Strategy.
