At a meeting yesterday I was asked about WAYFless URLs. I have answered it with an RSC Wales ’5 Minute Expert’ video – a quick guide explaining what WAYFless URLs are in relation to Federated Access Management, and why they are useful to learners. If it looks blocky then check that the resolution setting underneath the video is on 360p or 480p. You may also need to turn the volume up for the spoken audio sections.

WAYFless links can be embedded into a VLE, library catalogue or website – anywhere that staff and students can access resources off-site. They also remove the possibility of a user selecting the wrong institution when they log into a Shibbolised resource.
