Implementing Social Networking for University Sites using DotNetNuke

 

DotNetNuke is the foundation for hundreds of thousands of websites around the world. Many of these websites are used by institutions of higher learning to enable students, teachers, administrators and alumni to communicate and collaborate. Please join me for our next Showcase Webinar on February 23rd, at 10 AM PST. You will hear “live” from two University Web Developers how they used DotNetNuke to build powerful and highly collaborative web sites. Can’t make it? Registeranyway to receive a recording of the event.

 

Joining me will be Robin Parker from the Johnson Graduate School of Management at Cornell University and Walt Brannon from the University of New Orleans (Member of Louisiana State University System) We will also be joined by Cuong Dang, Social Media Technology Manager at r2Integrated and DotNetNuke Core Team member.

• To build, deploy and manage a University or College web site with limited resources
• How to integrate social networking features into your site.
• How university web site developers implement content workflows to ensure content is accurate and approved before being published
• To provide secure access to sensitive areas of your web site and ensure only authorized content contributors are able to change key site content
• To deploy a web site for hundreds of non-technical content contributors
• How two developers used third party application modules to control development costs while extending the functionality of their site

Panelists:

Robin Parker, Web and Database Programming Manager, Samuel Curtis Johnson Graduate School of Management, Cornell University (www.johnson.cornell.edu)

Robin successfully deployed a rebranded CMS-based web site that created a larger applicant pool, attracted top faculty and improved employment prospects for graduates of the Johnson School. Robin also recently launched a new Alumni Portal which uses ActiveSocial modules to enable over 13,000 alumni to communicate and network.
