What is the National Landscapes Platform?
Our National Landscapes Platform is a space for collaborative working across the national network of teams responsible for looking after our Areas of Outstanding Natural Beauty (approximately 400 users from across the UK). The platform provides a set of online tools to allow us to work together more effectively. These tools include, but are not necessarily limited to, the following.
- A variety of Forums where users can discuss topics, as well as a few smaller, more private, forums for specific project work
- A searchable Contact Directory, to provide additional networking with colleagues nationally - users are able to search for people with specific expertise and for those who are open for collaborative activity (from ad hoc advice to project work)
- A searchable Resource Library where users can share and discover files of all sorts (documents, images, maps…)
- A News page where users can read all the latest updates from across the network (curated by AONB comms officers), as well as national updates from the NAAONB
- Calendars to inform users of upcoming events, meetings and training sessions, as well as project-specific calendars (to aid with project management)
- A Project Summary page to inform users on what national/regional projects there are and how they are progressing
- A collaborative document management system, to co-edit files remotely without fear of losing precious work because of version history problems
- A chat system, for quick, one-to-one conversations
- And, customisable settings for email notifications, including a weekly digest of recent activity - to cut down on unwanted pressure on email inboxes!
