How to build intranet in the school

1.Create an HTML login page. The login page is for those who may be trying to access the intranet offsite. If you're in the office and connected to the network, then the intranet should be viewable without a login.

2.Create a home page. Stay close to the design of the company website when creating the inner pages of an intranet site. Top navigation should include a log out button or link. Break up main content area into no more than three columns of information. One column should have information pertaining to company announcements and information. Another column should have fun information: blog entries, pictures, etc. Another column may have a download area for staff to download HR forms or company policies.

 

3.Create content pages. Examples of content pages would be press release articles, technical support inquiries, blog entries, etc. Create content pages similar to design of main corporate site. Content pages should have a one-column format to keep all pertinent information in one concentrated area. As a webmaster you may need to converse with each department within the company to get content. Talk to the heads (or representatives of the heads) of departments to get the information you need to add to the intranet.

 

4.Assign a subdomain to the intranet site. If your company website is http://www.company.com, then your intranet site can be http://intranet.company.com. There is no need to register a different domain name for an intranet site; it is an extension of the company website. Add the subdomain on your webserver and transfer files to this location when code is complete.

 

5.Don't forget the HTACCESS file. The .htaccess file is a web server configuration file that controls website security and performance. Open a blank text file in a text editor and configure the following: who is able to view the website and who isn't, caching time, URL redirect if a site has moved. Save the file as .htaccess and upload to web server at the root.

 

What are the three basic programming control structures

1) Conditional structure:

If and Else statement is used in the programming for conditional structures. This statement uses a specific condition check. If this condition is true the code following the If statement will be executed otherwise the Else portion will be executed. The Else part of the If state is optional. The syntax of this condition structure varies language to language.

2) Iteration structure:

Iteration structure or loops are used to repeat the instructions. There are mainly three types of loops available. For Loop, While Loop, do while loop. These loops repeat the instruction until a specific condition is true.

3) Jump statements:

These statements include Break, Continue and Goto instructions. These instruction jumps from one portion of the program to another portion of the program. The function calling can also be included in this category.

What are the advantages of having School Intranet?

Advantages of an Intranet
There are three main advantages to setting up an Intranet:
1. Speed: Due to the fact that the information is based from a local server the download time is much quicker then the average Internet download time. This means that large files can be linked like PowerPoint presentations and Word documents without the need to compress memory size or convert to the HTML.
2. Security: The information on the Intranet is protected form outside interference.Internet uses cannot access the Intranet due to a protection system called a firewall. A firewall is a separate computer that verifies the log in name and password of those trying to access the network through the Internet connection. (Heyden,1998, p.231)
3. Control: Only those granted access by the IT network administrator can read, add and subtract data on the Intranet pages.

What is the Intranet?

An intranet is a private network designed for communicating information within an


organisation or school. It is similar in appearance to the World Wide Web and is navigated in

the same way as a Web site. The key difference is that access is limited to internal users only

(of the organisation or school). The main function of a school intranet is to make resources

available to students and teachers. However, it requires continuous maintenance, as issues

surrounding content, security and access need to be managed on a full-time basis. Compared

to the Internet, where a range of content is readily available, content on an intranet is dictated

by those managing the intranet, e.g., teachers and students.
