Group Sites

All course sites are created by ITS, which is able to include registration lists in batch uploading processes.

SMGtools also supports other types of collaborative sites:


Student Team Sites

ITS will create a student team site at the request of a faculty member. To request a Student Team Site, please complete this spreadsheet:
http://smghelp.bu.edu/docs/StudentTeams.xls and email it to smgtools@bu.edu.

Student Organizations

An official student organization can request a site by sending email to smgtools@bu.edu with the name and purpose of the organization.

Research, Department, and Other Group Sites

Faculty and staff can create collaborative sites for research, department, or other collaborative purposes:
  • Click the My Workspace tab.
  • Click on Workspace Setup and then click the "New" button.
  • Select the radio button that best suits the collaborative space you need, then click Continue.
  • Enter a title for the site and click Continue.
  • Check boxes corresponding to the tools you wish to use in your site and click Continue.
  • Choose from site access options or leave default values, and click Continue.
  • Click Create Site.

Sites will appear on the system right away. If you have a number of other sites in SMGtools, you may not see your new site in the tab display; look in the "More" dropdown at the upper right.
