Site Name

Also referred to as the "Domain Name", the 'Site Name' refers to the URL used to navigate and access your learning log, and is determined by the 'Site Name' field when creating a learning log. By default, the domain name for anyone using OCA Spaces will begin "spaces.oca.ac.uk/", immediately followed by your chosen site name. For example, spaces.oca.ac.uk/[SiteName].

When entering a site name, only lowercase letters and numbers are permitted, uppercase letters, spaces ( ) and symbols are prohibited. You also do not need to include the "spaces.oca.ac.uk/" prefix in your text entry.

The domain name is also the address required by anyone intending to access your learning log, such as your tutor, when submitting an assignment, for example.

Tip: Entering or bookmarking your domain name is an easier and the quickest method of navigating to your learning log.
