Assistive Publishing

The OU PhD skills web site pointed out the availability to students of a web site, intra or internet available through the LTS, but you have to find how to use the Assistive Publishing System (APS). So I've been on the course, done that - it's a very simple content management system so it's really easy to use, but doesn't allow much room to differentiate your site. That's fine because I'll just concentrate on the content. I want somewhere on the intranet site that I can put up papers, and documents that I can't put on this.

Now, though I can't think what I should put up - what would be useful?
