converted to Flash flv files and added to the DU media server. You will<br />
need the Web address (URL) to the video file on the media server in<br />
order to add the video to your website. If the video was shot by a DU<br />
videographer, chances are that the video already resides on the DU media<br />
server in the proper format. If you’re unsure about the format or location <strong>of</strong><br />
your video, please contact your videographer or the Penrose Library media<br />
group for help.<br />
While you and Ross work out the images for your website, Matt<br />
Eschenbaum will use the information in your Site Checklist to create the<br />
server directories, users and permissions necessary for your upcoming<br />
CMS training with UTS. At this stage Matt will also address any specific<br />
functionality requests regarding URL redirects, forms, remotely managed<br />
pages, etc. New code development for the DU templates is frozen, but<br />
Matt may be able to point you toward existing functionality and widgets<br />
that do what you need.<br />
Once design and development are ready to go, Matt and Ross will inform<br />
you and Mary Sue Brown via Yammer that you’re ready to move into<br />
the training phase. Usually, training should not be scheduled until the<br />
previous phases are complete.<br />
Training<br />
Training will introduce you to the CMS (Content Management System) that<br />
is used to build and manage the DU website.<br />
Work with Mary Sue in UTS to schedule your training session. She’ll look<br />
over the requirements <strong>of</strong> your website and tailor the training session<br />
accordingly. Depending on your situation, she can break the training into<br />
two sessions for building and populating the website. You should plan on<br />
sending at least two people to the training session for continuity purposes.<br />
Once in training, you can create the pages and navigation for your site and<br />
then add the appropriate content and imagery to each page. A typical<br />
training session lasts two to three hours.<br />
Upon completion <strong>of</strong> training, you’ll have the knowledge and access to the<br />
CMS necessary to finish building out your website.<br />
