Resources

The Portal available with Anthology Student version 18.2 and later provides the following new features and enhancements:

• Internationalization

  Institutions can configure Portal to support multiple languages and end users can select their language preference.

  Users can select their language preferences and institutions can apply resource files to provide support for multiple languages. Portal supports multiple language options, including English (United States), Hindi (India), Arabic (Kuweit), Bahasa (Indonesia), and Chinese (Simplified).

• Responsive Design

  The design of the Portal web pages is optimized to display properly on all devices (desktops, tablets, and mobile phones).

• Themes

  Institutions can apply Bootstrap and Kendo themes and templates to change the styling of the Portal web pages.

  Bootstrap and Kendo are popular open source front-end development frameworks providing reusable pieces of code written in HTML, CSS, and JavaScript. Themes are collections of components that determine the layout and design of web sites built on top of Boostrap and Kendo.

• Page-specific enhancements

  Many of the Portal web pages provide enhancements to the user interface, such as grid pagination, sorting, and search.

• Design Changes for Web Parts

  The web parts have been redesigned to enhance usability on all devices. Web parts such as Class Center and News Center use carousel views instead of lists or grids. Other web parts provide links for detailed information instead of listing information directly in the web part.
