What is iNoticeboard?


iNoticeboard is a computer program that combines Noticeboards, Calendars, Planners, Forums, Messaging and Chat.

It is quick to install, ready to use straight "out of the box" and is easy to adapt to your needs.

The aim of iNoticeboard is to improve communication between all teaching staff.

We worked closely with a group of primary school head teachers to design iNoticeboard for their needs. They all had various ways of communicating with their staff but needed a simpler less time consuming combined solution.

iNoticeboard is not a Learning platform, it’s a communication tool for staff.

It’s always up to date and quick and easy to use. Totally secure as it runs within the school network so no annoying adverts or spam email that are common place these days.

All in One Place

The iNoticeboard window has everything you need in one place.

The centre area shows the main view, either Noticeboard, Calendar, Planner, Forum or Messaging. Quickly switch between them with the press of a button.

The two Side Panels show useful information such as your Contacts list, Reminders and Activity for today. They are always available and can be hidden to give more room for the main view.

Install Once, Access Anywhere

Quick to learn, Easy to Use

iNoticeboard has been designed to be very quick to learn and very easy to use.

Each of the different areas work in a very similar way, whether you are adding a Notice to a Noticeboard, putting an entry in the Calendar or Planner, or posting a Topic in the Forum.

Today's Activity

The Activity Panel shows all Activity for today.

It shows when people sign in and out of iNoticeboard, you can send them a Message from here.

It also shows when new Notices or Topics or Replies are added, and you can quickly view them from here.

Control Access

iNoticeboard has Roles to control what each person can do.

It ships with 4 basic roles that  might suit most people, but you can copy and create your own Roles and easily override them with a few clicks.

e.g. give a person the Read Role so they can only read the Noticeboards. Edit the Role and give them write access to a single Noticeboard with one click.

You can choose exactly which Noticeboards etc. a Role can view and write too.

Easy to Update

iNoticeboard is very quick and easy to update.

When a new version is available, it only needs to be updated once, on the original computer where iNoticeboard was first installed.

All the other computers on your network will automatically update their copy of iNoticeboard when it is next used.

The update typically only takes a few moments.
