"I think that it is important that the departments have a sense of ownership over "their" site, and understand just how much traffic the program-level pages get. Periodic emails containing Google Analytics reports are helpful for this, and…"

Sarah McMaster replied to Janine Gliener's discussion Convincing Faculty/Staff to contribute to web via CMS?"Hmm, both Michael and Kris have good points... But ... would an incentive contest of some kind be an option? Just a thought... Unfortunately, the fact remains that if they don't want to do it, they are not the right people - as unhelpful as…"
Kris Martin-Baker replied to Janine Gliener's discussion Convincing Faculty/Staff to contribute to web via CMS?"I have to agree with The Fienen - after years of trying to convince our faculty & staff to use the CMS, we have faced the reality that the tool is an obstacle rather than a help. Hiring a content professional was the biggest turning point,…"

Michael Fienen replied to Janine Gliener's discussion Convincing Faculty/Staff to contribute to web via CMS?"I'm going to take the low road here. If you have to convince them to tell a story or use the CMS, they probably aren't the right person to begin with. Nothing good comes from that. You're better off doing as little as you can as…"

Anybody have good links (or pithy statements) that I might share with some members of my institution's faculty & senior administration, to encourage them to add content, and tell their stories, via our CMS? Despite having been able to access program pages and more for the past two years, some people still think the only position worth having is home page, very much undervaluing the user experience at the program-page level. External sources always sound more authoritative! Thanks!See More

Hi, all... I've appreciated my occasional use of this ning community, we use Yammer in our workplace, and Google Groups and Yahoo listserves and LinkedIn groups for other groups. I've just been charged with setting up a group for 24 Ontario Colleges heads of marketing, and wondering what people are liking these days? (for sharing info/files, having discussions, scheduling meetings, etc)See More
Janine Gliener replied to Mike Takahashi's discussion Generation Y chooses the mobile web in the group Mobile"Our thinking is that mobile is appropriate for specific functions/activities, but NOT for researching academic programs, fees & financial aid, etc ... that prospective students will be still using a laptop/desktop when they get serious about…"

Wondering if anyone can share anything about using external parties to produce a virtual campus tour? I'm looking for costs and issues -- what're the benefits of going external vs trying to produce inhouse? What are the drawbacks?Many thanks for any info.JanineSee More
Thomas Marks replied to Janine Gliener's discussion Who gets to decide what links make your home page?"It comes down to knowing your users, as well as ownership/control over the website.
Starting with control and ownership of the website. Forget shared governance, you need to have one group own and control the design, architecture and content of…"
"At my college, the "products" or the degree programs are the main feature, followed by the focus audiences, like Fienen said, then upcoming events (which changes). Ultimately its the Marketing Director who has the last word on what goes on…"
Michael Fienen replied to Janine Gliener's discussion Who gets to decide what links make your home page?"In our case, it generally falls to the "Branding Committee" for the most part. Normally, I look at the home page by and large as a fixed thing, besides the elements that are MEANT to change, so when people ask for special treatment,…"
Janine Gliener posted a discussionWho gets to decide what links make your home page?
I've got dozens of faculty & staff who ardently believe that THEIR program/activity/service should appear on our site's home page and/or in our universal top nav.I'd love to hear how other organizations handle that demand for such limited real estate and keep their home page looking clean, accessible, navigable.We have a "Website Advisory Committee" which is ostensibly an oversight body to whom I can refer these things, but bottom line, the responsibility for the user experience lies with…See More
Janine Gliener replied to Rachel Reuben's discussion Social Media Policies & Guidelines"Great thread, lots of helpful material re policies for what staff & faculty can post, say & do.
