Moving on with your VCL - 'VCL Level 2'

So, you have the basic web-links and perhaps even software clicks in place in an easy-to-find and use zone that are the foundation content of a LEVEL 1 'VCL'!

Now, you're ready to move on with further content development and integration, including:

- Creation of a 'home web page' for your 'Careers/Connexions' zone. Rather than just a series of links, create a user-friendly and attractive web page 'signposter menu' to your websites and software - see these examples

- Creation of a series of web pages (or 'sub-zones') for year groups (see below) and or specific topics, eg learning, software packages, events, news... - see these examples

- Year Group zones - see the Year 9 zone on this menu example

- integration with your school software - for example, Kudos or JED. See our sample menus for ideas on thisor JED)

- links with and use of wider school systems (eg bookings, news) -

- integration with your wider CEG programme, events and support people!
