Spider (portal)

This type of coding became a flaw to development as hand scripting HTML became very time consuming.

At the same time student users are able to view classes and content across cluster boundaries.

[citation needed] As a result of this cluster being available, many of SPIDER's tools have the flexibility to operate at both the class and academic degree/ programme/ unit level.

For example, staff users on SPIDER are able to target news items at several classes in their cluster or even at year level.

[3] SPIDER makes use of an academic session to establish which content is current and which is archived.
