Project Type: Educational Web Site

Project Status: 1st Phase Completed

Project Description: To provide a portal that would act as a gateway to access the network system provided by MiAcademia. Access to the system would be for members and potential participants in the regional educational sphere.

Unique Aspects: Chimera Studio faced many technological challenges in addition to the design phase of this project. Although not all of the project specifications are presently being implemented, they included:

  • Integration with MiAcademia's groupware application.
  • Password protection for members, allowing them to log in to members-only portions of the site.
  • Country Portals/Language choices - visitors would be able to choose their preferred language - English, Spanish or Portuguese - as well as their preferred country portal. Cookies would then track that choice and direct the visitor to the appropriate portal upon return. A means to clear that cookie was also built in.
  • School templates - Chimera Studio designed a series of color-schemed templates for prospective schools to use for their individual sites within the network.

Chimera Studio also designed the MiAcademia logo.

Timeframe: September 2000 ttrough October 2001
