How to access old StudyNet

The original StudyNet will be available for a short period of time. All teaching-related resources should now be on Canvas, but there may be some resources that have not yet been moved.

To help with the migration. We are leaving the old StudyNet servers available at:

• https://www.studynet1.herts.ac.uk

If you have a StudyNet url that you would like to access. Add 1 after www.studynet in the url.

If there is a particular resource that you need and it doesn't appear to be available on Ask, HertsHub or Canvas. Please register on our StudyNet2 support website and let us know about the resource in the discussion forums. 

I still have content on old StudyNet. When will it be shut down?

We aim to shut old StudyNet off at the end of August. If you still have resources on StudyNet. Please move them to another platform. Canvas for learning resources, Ask for help and support and HertsHub for staff-only resources.

Help with Canvas

 

What if my modules are incorrect on Canvas?

Your modules are updated automatically from your Student Record.  If your module is missing in Canvas, check your Student Record to make sure you are registered on the module. If your Student Record is incorrect, please contact the Ask Herts service.

If you have a module listed on your Student Record that is missing from Canvas, please allow two working days for a link to appear.  If a link is still missing, this is usually for one of two reasons:

• The module is a Semester B module and we have not yet created a website for it. Don't worry. We create Semester B modules nearer the start of Semester B. 
• The other common reason is your module might be what is known as a 'linked module'. This is where the module runs under several different module codes on different programmes of study but timetabled together. Often the Module Leader will decide to link the modules together and teach you are one cohort. If you see a module with a similar title, that is not on your list on your Student Record. It most likely is a linked module. Check the module's homepage where your tutor hopefully will identify all the modules using the website.
