Web.unc.edu perfect for creating final projects for your classes. You can put all your content online, and augment your research with pictures, videos, audio, and hyperlinks to resources online.
I was contacted yesterday by a professor who wanted to allow her class to create graphical novels online for final projects. I made a 1/2 hour video walkthrough of three different layouts and options for creating this final site that might be useful for others thinking about using web.unc.edu for their final projects.

This plugin provides a lightweight XML sitemap generator with an easy-to-use interface. It works perfectly with WordPress multisite, giving each blog in the network its own unique sitemap.
Helpful for SEO: http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/rps-sitemap-generator/
Does the normal SEO tool we use provide sitemap functionality? Is it sufficient?

Multisite Dashboard Switcher lets multisite admins quickly switch between dashboards while navigating around the network. It makes managing settings across sites more convenient with fewer clicks required for getting from one site to another.
We definitely need this. 2000+ sites and counting makes it hard to get around: http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/multisite-dashboard-switcher/

This is a maintenance mode plugin written specifically for use with WordPress networks. It allows a super admin to put his entire network, main site, or subsites into maintenance mode while displaying a customizable maintenance page.
We’d need to make sure UNC branding happens on the maintenance page: http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/wpms-site-maintenance-mode/

This is a very useful plugin that will check for inactive sites on your network, according to the criteria that you set, and will automatically hide them for you. After you set the parameters for the routine checks, WP_Cron will kick in to update and hide the inactive sites.
Should be integrated in our “do you really want to delete your website” process: http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/hide-inactive-sites/
