CampusPress Guides for Staff
CampusPress is a tool for creating blogs and websites for teaching and learning purposes. Powered by WordPress, staff and students can create and manage their own blogs, using a range of accessible themes. It can also be used for assessment purposes by creating a class blog, in which the instructor has oversight of their student’s work.
It is available to all staff and students by going to campuspress.leeds.ac.uk and logging in using your University username and password.
You can choose to use your personal blog for various functions including:
- Tracking CPD activities
- Research interests
- Private journal
If you'd like to use a class blog as part of a teaching activity or assessment, please contact the Systems team via the IT Service Desk to discuss your use case.
