Internet Favourites - Controlled by Staff

EISNet has always supported a form of managed favourites that allow staff to create internet shortcuts that appear for all pupils. However this was not ideal as it meant pupils could view only the favourites created by staff, and not their own. 

EISNet v1.8 includes a much improved internet favourites system for staff and pupils. 

Firstly, all staff and pupils can create their own shortcuts and it remains stored with them regardless of whether they are roaming or mandatory profiles. The important change we have implemented is a folder in everyone's favourites is called 'Shared'. Staff can create internet shortcut's and put them in the Shared folder. This is achieved by creating a favourite in the normal way using Internet Explorer.

Pupils also see this Shared folder, but they cannot edit the contents. 

This is a good method of sharing internet favourites for pupils during lessons.
