OK. It took me a couple of head scratches to figure out that our “new portal” wasn’t actually labeled as “2008 Year 2 Portal“. I kept checking our old Year 1, 3, 4 portal more than a few times thinking that it was still down, so don’t feel silly if you did the same. If you’ve done this without issues, jump to subsequent posts on:
Part 2: Main Page Overview
Part 3: PBL Triggers
Part 4: Downloading Resources
Part 5: Maximising the New Calendar
But here’s a quick run of how to access the site in the first place:
- http://som.uq.edu.au (Use Firefox or Chrome to liberate yourself from n00bdom)
- Click “Current Students” on the top links.
- Click “2008 Year 2 Portal”. I think this link will change to a proper name eventually, so don’t flame at me if it does. You can take the long way and click through “MBBS Portal” -> “2008 Year 2 Portal” if you feel like it.
- You’ll see a somewhat familiar login screen. Your login should be the same as the old portal.
- Now you will see the new Portal main page.
Now that you know how to get in, let’s move forward to getting familiar with the Main Page in Part 2.
