Abstract

The GWeb Portal is a centralized online environment developed to fulfill the varied needs of The George Washington University students, faculty, alumni, staff and friends. The ability to integrate email, online student registration, courseware software, enterprise data and other existing resources into a comprehensive single-sign-on portal allowed for greater application interoperability, extended usage, and enhanced University wide communication. The GWeb portal is based upon a mix of academic and personal services to encourage use and promote community interaction. While the University's main purpose is to facilitate academic study, GWeb recognizes that the bond between the student and the University extends beyond the classroom. Considering that bond, services of personal nature, such as weather from around the globe, movie show time listings, comics, and classified ads provide resources that would otherwise require users to search elsewhere for these features. The aggregation of the GWeb services increased usage and therefore the effectiveness of communication between the University and its constituencies.
