iWeb, or Individual Web Services for Ball State University, is the primary hosting platform for students, faculty, staff, and student organizations. iWeb sites are tied to your BSU Computer Username and are for publishing academic or personal information. For more information, go to http://iweb.bsu.edu/

Vignette is available for use only by academic units and other official offices of the university. The system is not available for creating Web sites for student groups, individual students, faculty, or staff members. However, these individuals or groups can still have a Web account from Ball State through the university's iWeb system. For more information, go to http://www.bsu.edu/vignette/

Blackboard is a software solution used by Ball State University to enhance the learning experiences of students. With Blackboard, faculty may create online assessment exams, host discussion forums, and make files available to their students. For more information see http://www.bsu.edu/web/ucs/faq/blackboard/

Certain web sites or services may require or would be better served by dedicated servers. If your unit or department is interested in hosting a dedicated server or service, please contact Enterprise Systems Administration & Services for additional information.

Still unsure where to host your web site?

If you're unsure where your site should be hosted, please contact the UCS Helpdesk at 285-1517 or email helpdesk@bsu.edu.
