Information Technology Services

We want to help you successfully transition your existing Web sites from the current NDSU Web server to the CMS (TYPO3) System, or to the new Public Web (PubWeb) server!

To allow us to provide as much assistance as we can, we're focusing all of our training sessions in September, October, and November on working with your Web sites. We have two different options available:

• CMS (TYPO3) Quick Start Training Sessions (2 hours each - 30 dates/times available)
• S.W.A.T Work Sessions (3 - 3.5 hours each - 10 dates/times available)

Register Now! Sessions start immediately on Monday, September 28!

For more information, contact Lorna Olsen at 231-6328 or Cj johnson at 231-6245.

If your department has decided to move your Web site to the free TYPO3 Content Management System (CMS), one of these classes is for you!

CMS (TYPO3) Quick Start Training class description

TYPO3 allows you to focus on creating and maintaining content on the Web without learning how to produce complex HTML or other complicated programming code. The CMS template creates the page design and you just add the content! As an added benefit, your content automatically complies with current accessibility and usability standards.

In this two-hour class we'll focus on just the basics you need to know to get started using the CMS system. Once you learn the basics you'll be able to start working on your site and come back for more in-depth training later.

S.W.A.T. = Special Web Assistance Team -- we'll be here to help!

If you need help moving your Web site content from the current NDSU Web server (webdev) to the new Public Web server (PubWeb), ITS staff members are available during 10 scheduled "come as you are" work sessions throughout September, October, and November.

No registration is necessary! All you need to do is show up anytime during any of the scheduled S.W.A.T. Work Sessions and someone will assist you. This is a time for you to ask questions and get answers and then we'll help you do the work!

Things to Know/Do Before You Get to the Session:

• Request an account on the pubweb server
• Wait for notification that the pubweb account is created
• Be sure you know the correct URL (address) to the current site on the webdev server
• Know the correct URL to the new site on the pubweb server
• Look up your UNIX Login I.D. (UID) at http://enroll.nodak.edu
• Know your correct password!

If you have files to be uploaded to the pubweb server that aren't currently uploaded to your current webdev site, please copy those files to a USB drive and bring them with you!

We will offer our regular full series of Blackboard Training later in December before the start of the spring semester.
