One Step Closer to Our New Site
We made a big step yesterday. At 5:30 p.m., Eastern Time, we made the first of two technology changes to the new site and technology platform for Poynter's News University project: We turned off the registration system on the old site and are now signing up folks only on the new platform.
After 133,804 users, our final sign-up on the platform was a student from the journalism school at the University of Minnesota. Go Gophers.
We think our new registration is easier. There is one big change, however. We now require you to complete the registration by clicking on an e-mail sent to the account you used to sign up. If you don't, you can't start using the more than 150 e-learning modules on NewsU. This is a system we have seen work successfully at other sites, so we don't expect any big issues.
For those educators who use NewsU in the classroom via an education portal such as eChalk or Blackboard, we are working on a simple way to get your students signed up and using the site. Stay tuned for that change within the next couple of days. Our friends at Aten Design Group have figured out a solution.
We have added lots of places where you can send us feedback. And yes, there's a human on the other end. And me, too.
Next step: Turn off the old site. Turn on the new site.

One Step Closer to the New Site
HI hfinberg,
This is very interesting for the chance of getting attached to the New's University interlude and joining the other huge numbers of users on the platform. This platform is unique and it open the doors to students who;s interested to learn the art and science of Journalism online.
With a single clicking we are able to create an account which accessed us to more than 150 e-learning modules on News University. Hoping that I can fully explore the available resources and work it out to the best of my advantage of learning the journalism and its perspective, participatingin the program with contructive views and opinion through electronic medium.
Since this is the first time I tune in to the News University column I wish to share whatever input transpired during the learning process. This first move is the sign of me ascending to "One Step Closer to the New Site".
Thank you.
Best regards.
