Staff Zones

Easily collaborate with other staff at the school in private and secure online areas.

Staff Zones are basically Learning Caves that look more serious. They're designed for staff to work on various projects through the website.

A Staff Zone only has a Name and a Purpose. By default all staff that have access to the Spike@School Construction Zone can work in the Staff Zone, but you can restrict access using Permissions.

You can add a new Staff Zone from the ‘Add a New’ menu in the Construction Zone:

Viewing Staff Zones

Staff Zones aren't shown on your public school website, they're purely for people who have access to the Construction Zone. Access to the Staff Zone can be gained by simply clicking on the Name of the Staff Zone within the list of modules inside the Construction Zone.

Accessing your Staff Zone

Once in a Staff Zone you can do all of the things that you can do in a Learning Cave - like adding Links, Files, Pages, Messages, Events and holding Live Chats. There is no such thing as Startup Resources because everyone is contributing to the Zone in an equal manner and there is a higher level of trust. There are also no Quizzes in a Staff Zone.

Other than that, they're exactly the same as Learning Caves so take a look at that section to find out more about how they work.
