Kathie Kentfield replied to David Floyd's discussion OUC End-user Training in the group OmniUpdate"In the beginnig I offered training sessions for my users and the room held approx 25 people (computer lab with overhead projector - some people prefer to watch, others are more hands-on so they could follow along on their screens). …"
Kathie Kentfield replied to Carol Sykes's discussion Thinking about purchasing OU Campus for our Institution, got any feedback? in the group OmniUpdate"When we were looking for a CMS a few years ago, our final choices were very similar in features. I'm glad we went with OUCampus - their customer support is really really good. We're a small institution so to me, that makes all…"

Kathie Kentfield replied to Michael Matzkin's discussion Should we convert to a content management system?"I meant that I would not do the whole thing at one time. First split out content and create an intranet and an Internet. Do the redesign of the site as another project. Implement the CMS as another project. To do them all…"

Michael Fienen replied to Kathie Kentfield's discussion Emergency Coverage"Also, if you are assigning others the ability to post some kind of emergency message, make sure they are trained and drilled at least twice a year, maybe more. Otherwise it is a sure bet they will forget how to use the system in a moment of…"
"I agree that there should be a larger team able to post emergency updates to the home page, and that team should be identified with the assistance of the College's emergency management team. Ultimately, the role (as I see it) should be…"
Erik Hagen replied to Kathie Kentfield's discussion Emergency Coverage"That's a good question, and a reminder for me to look at this issue again. I'm at a small school as well with 3 staff. I have some ideas on how this might work. Here's what I'm thinking for my situation.
1. Figure out who should…"
Kathie Kentfield posted a discussionEmergency Coverage
We are a small college with 2 staff members dedicated to the website. We are essentially the go-to people when it comes to updating the website during closings, snowstorms, etc. An issue arose because this weekend neither one of us is going to be available to update the website in case of an emergency. Although the likelihood of something happening is small, we still need to ensure that we have coverage in case something does happen. How do other institutions handle this coverage?
Kathie Kentfield replied to Michael Matzkin's discussion Should we convert to a content management system?"I have to ditto Justin's posts. We are a small campus and until recently I was the primary web person - meaning that departments would send me web content changes and complain because it took so long for me to implement those…"
