My Monash Portal

I guess my.monsh portal is the most frequently website we visit everyday, even more than “Google”.

I like the colour schedule of the website. There is only one colour family used of this website—blue (include light blue, deep blue, sky blue, white and black), which is also the main colour of Monash University logo. Also the contrast and balance are great as well. White colour background, which is the most popular background colour of the website. It can be seen that deep blue is used in highlight the most important section of the site, and they are also in the middle of the webpage, once we login, they are the first view of our eyes.

In general speaking, it is a very nice and convenient website for us. We almost can do everything in school though this website, such as contact teachers, getting information from school, read lecture notes, view timetables, visit student market, etc.

Although it is a successful website for us, I still think there are few things need to be improved. One is the “MUSO”. It has already been given a new name ”Blackboard”, so that I think the same name should be used in the website. The other thing is our Monash email. Now our email account is sharing with Google mail, which is very good. But it also means we can’t check our email in every school computers. For those computers only connect with Monash internal network, our email cannot be checked by them, because those computers can not log on any website outside of Monash University network.
