“One grant team created the project’s website and learning resources as well as profiles for featured psychologists and learning resources. The site, called Psychologist Spotlights, marks the first DELTA development project using the Gutenberg editor in WordPress, in which each piece of content is a draggable and customizable block.

Wondering what else WolfWare WordPress allows you to do?

WordPress is used by individuals, educational institutions and large corporations like CNN, Forbes and IBM. It is a very user-friendly content management system that allows you to provide your course content to your students in an efficient manner by providing customizable templates to upload your materials into.

WolfWare WordPress helps you serve your students by giving you the power to:

  • Create a public “landing page” for easy access and recognition for anyone interested the course
  • Deliver instructional content via a website
  • Restrict access to enrolled students, designated users or the public
  • Maintain a space to upload files that students can view, link or download
  • Provide consistent and brand-compliant appearance for each course

“Critique is the most common presentation genre in the discipline of design and it is an important pedagogical tool in design courses. Creating an interactive website (a course hub/ students’ blogs) through WordPress provides a way for design students to upload their visual work, give and receive written feedback and cultivate a sense of social belonging throughout the semester.”
