WebCentral, the college’s long-standing web portal, will be officially retired during the Winter 2024 intersession. It will be replaced by BC Knowledge (this platform), which is modern, mobile-friendly and designed to better meet the needs of students, faculty, and staff.
Why was WebCentral retired?
While WebCentral served us well, it faced several challenges that made it difficult to maintain and less effective for today’s needs:
- Outdated Infrastructure: The system could no longer keep up with modern demands for content management, accessibility, and security. It was also challenging to update content in WebCentral.
- Poor Mobile Accessibility: WebCentral pages were not responsive on mobile devices, requiring zooming in and out to view content and access links.
- Limited Search: It was difficult to find and discover content on WebCentral.
- Difficult to Bookmark and Share: Bookmarking or sharing frequently used applications or pages for quick access wasn’t possible.
What’s new with BC Knowledge?
BC Knowledge is mobile-friendly, easy to search, and everything can be bookmarked and shared for easy reference. All commonly used applications and resources from WebCentral are available in BC Knowledge. Plus, you’ll find many helpful new guides and resources as the platform grows.
For your convenience, visit the Employee Portal page, which has links to the most frequently accessed applications and information all in one place.
