Coventry.Domains is a Core tool for creating portfolios, blogs and other websites. It’s available to both students and educators of the Coventry University Group.
Introduction
Staff and students of the Coventry University Group can build their online presence, take part in authentic assessment and become better digital citizens with Coventry.Domains.
Coventry.Domains offers two options for getting online:
- Coventry.Domains WordPress – An instantly available WordPress site with managed themes, plugins, privacy and cookie policies open to everyone in the University Group
- Domains of One’s Own – A DIY solution where staff and students can request web hosting space where they can install and maintain their content management system of choice (including WordPress)
With either option, you can build a website, blog or portfolio, customise the appearance and start publishing pages and blog posts for all the world (or select users) to see.
For most users, Coventry.Domains WordPress is the best option as it’s available to everyone in the group, doesn’t require approval and has the quickest set up process.
