Technology services unveiled a new version of MySBU June 8, citing a need to reduce clutter as a reason for the update.
According to a Notice Board announcement e-mailed June 5, the navigation service for students, faculty and staff needed a makeover.
In the Notice Board, William Grossman, web systems manager, said technology services released the first version of MySBU in the fall of 2004. The 2004 version contained seven links; the current version holds over 100, including links to both WebCT and its potential replacement, Moodle.
WebCT is an online software that assists students and faculty with courseware.
The newly designed MySBU features a tabbed navigation system leading to all of the links previously visible in the old version, said Grossman in the Notice Board.
The navigation service also received a new face.
The updated version of MySBU retired its old blue background in exchange for the university's colors: shades of brown and white. At the top of the page, an aerial photo showcases part of campus, including the Quick Center for the Arts and Doyle and Devereux halls.
Grossman was not available for an interview by press time.
