Announcing A New Corada Feature: WorkSpace & WorkGroups

We are excited to roll out our newest, and largest, feature update since our launch!

Corada WorkSpace

Working in access-related fields, we all have lots of information that we constantly use to be effective in our work. This includes documents, product information, videos, training materials, manuals, design templates, details, specifications, links to other resources, interpretations, memos, reports - - and much more. This data is typically scattered in many places; throughout our job files, perhaps even stacked up on our desks, in our cars, on the jobsite, or saved to our computer’s desktop or browser.

  The idea behind Corada WorkSpace is to provide a private, online place within Corada, where users can upload, consolidate, organize and maintain your own accessibility-related information. Loading this data into Corada allows it to be integrated with Corada’s existing database of other accessibility-related material, so users’ content will be in context with applicable federal standards, regulations, technical assistance materials and all of the other relevant content on Corada.

Corada WorkGroups

This is a new and exciting feature within the Corada WorkSpace that allows users to create "WorkGroups" to use individually; or, users can invite staff, project team members, colleagues, and clients to join and collaborate. Premium-level subscribers may create up to 3 WorkGroups and Accessibility Specialist-level subscribers may create up to 12 WorkGroups. (Coming soon, users will also be able to add even more WorkGroups for a nominal fee.) But users may be a member of an unlimited number of WorkGroups. 

If you are a Corada subscriber who is a member of one of our partnering associations (CASI, APA, ACTCP), you will also be able to participate in an exciting feature within Corada WorkSpace, called 'WorkGroups'. You may create WorkGroups to use individually; or you may invite staff, project team members, colleagues, and clients to join and collaborate. Premium-level subscribers may create up to 3 WorkGroups and Accessibility Specialist-level subscribers may create up to 12 WorkGroups. 

Key Benefits of using Corada WorkGroups:

• ​WorkGroup content is integrated with Corada’s existing database of other accessibility-related material, so users’ content will be in context with applicable federal standards, regulations, technical assistance materials and all of the other relevant content on Corada. 
• Though WorkGroup content is integrated into Corada’s existing content (and also Corada’s search results), it is ONLY seen by the members of the WorkGroup; and is kept completely confidential. Content may be marked so that it can be seen by other Corada users and the general public, however, by editing the 'privacy' settings.
• WorkGroup content is consolidated, organized, dynamic and interactive (versus a FTP or “file dump” site).
• If allowed by WorkGroup Admin, users may upload, tag and discuss virtually any type of content.
• Provides easy, 24-7 online access to all project-related content and ADA information in real-time.
• WorkGroups does not require special software or specific devices to use; and may be used from any device, anywhere with an internet connection and a browser
• Provides instant access to relevant resources for users who don’t understand ADA obligations, how to measure, etc
• Provides real-time communication with a project team, staff or clients, with instant updates, notifications and the ability to see all WorkGroup activity
• Provides a consolidated, Member-only location in Corada Voices for comments and discussions, so everyone in the WorkGroup has access to and benefits from the conversation
• WorkGroup Admins may elect to have the experienced, Corada data-entry team input content and tag with keywords and relevant ADA references for an additional fee (Contact Us!)
• WorkGroup Admins may invite an unlimited number of people to join their WorkGroup. Those invited do not have to be a current subscriber, but will be prompted to either sign up, login, upgrade or decline if they do not wish to participate. If a WorkGroup Admin has a large number of people to invite, the Corada staff can create batch invitations using the Admin's spreadsheet of names and email addresses (Contact Us!)
• WorkGroup Admins may independently modify settings, privacy, users, permissions and content from any device at any time (with a browser and an internet connection)
