College leadership has chosen TYPO3, a web content management system, for use at MCC. A content management system (CMS) is a program that allows for editing and maintaining web content from a centralized interface.
A pilot group of representative departments has been selected to migrate to TYPO3 at the end of the spring semester. The process will involve a temporary ‘freeze’ on changes to the departmental pages to be migrated while the web development team transfers the structure and content of the pages to the new CMS. Whether a page is in TYPO3 or not will be undiscernible to someone viewing our web pages. The difference will be the interface that liaisons use to update content. TYPO3 offers a web-based editing interface that is simple and easy to use.
An overview will be given on Tuesday, May 13th from Noon-1pm in the Warshof Conference Center, Flynn Campus Center (Empire Room) for department chairs and web liaisons. Other individuals interested in attending should email Ann Penwarden at "mailto:apenwarden@monroecc.edu". Initial training will be offered to the pilot departments in June and to other liaisons as space allows. Watch the Tribune for further updates!
