What is a Web Portal?


Did you know that in New Mexico there are already 40 public schools, 12 charter schools, 17 state agencies, and 11 higher education institutions that have developed portals through IDEAL-NM and are offering their own online learning programs?


A web portal allows you to access all of IDEAL-NM's middle and high school online courses and use them in fully online or blended learning formats. Through your web portal you can develop your own courses, build collaboration through communities and organizations, and share content and resources across your organization.


There are three components to a web portal:


1. Content System: Store and share resources and content within your secure portal.


2. Community System: Build communities of practice within your portal and use the virtual collaboration tools (e.g. Wikis, Blogs, Chat, Announcements, and Messaging).


3. Learning Management System: Develop and deliver online content (k-12 courses, professional development courses, training modules, etc.)
