OnePortal

Latest news

During the next few months, OnePortal will be progressively rolled out to regional and district staff, state school principals and all education corporate staff.

This follows the successful completion of a pilot, where a number of corporate and school staff trialled OnePortal’s features and useability.

Eventually, OnePortal will replace EdInfo and it is anticipated that all content on EdInfo will be migrated to OnePortal by the end of this year.

However, OnePortal offers more features than any intranet solution previously used within the department.

OnePortal provides a range of tools that can help staff network and collaborate online.

The development and rollout of OnePortal will be staged. Work teams will progressively gain access and new features will be developed and included over time.

Over the next few months, training will be provided to selected staff members who will become power users. These power users will be available to support their colleagues to discover and use the new features OnePortal offers.

Also, familiarisation sessions for all staff will be held at Education House.

Those people responsible for publishing and approving information to the intranet will be trained later in the year.

Overview

OnePortal will be your 'virtual front door' to web based and departmental content.

It aims to create an interactive experience by allowing you to build your own personal profile - ‘My Site’. My Site will allow you to have all your commonly used links, favourite websites, emails, calendar, wikis and other frequently used tools in your own private online work area.

Secure password protection will uphold the privacy of personal information.

For school-based staff, this rollout will include the establishment of a new school intranet allowing seamless integration with the corporate-based OnePortal.

Combined, OnePortal and Intranets in Schools will transform the way the Department and Education Queensland schools interact with information.

Schools will access the Learning Place, OneSchool and a host of other online educational and administrative resources through OnePortal, making it the hub that unites all Smart Classrooms initiatives.
