DESIGNS
The design for the new website is ready. You can
view it at: http://cmsg.gcccd.edu.
This design has been modified and
improved based on input from the Web Working Group and various faculty and staff members. The "new and improved" web
pages for the District and Intranet were rolled out fall 2011.
The District is working with Beacon Technologies
and the District-wide Web Working Group, which consists of
representatives from District, Cuyamaca College and Grossmont
College. Our next step is to create a plan and timeline for
migrating the various pages from the current version of the
Grossmont website.
TRANSITION
To begin the transition of the Grossmont College Website, Chris
Rodgers has been working with Debbi Smith, the
District Instructional Technology Design Specialist, to learn the
technical aspects of the new Content Management System. Our goal is
for Chris to be fully trained on the new system so that
he can start working with the various groups to update
their sites.
TIMELINE
The timing for migrating content will depend on
several factors, including an area's efficiency in updating their
content and whether they have access to additional staff who can be
trained on the technical aspects. Timing for the migration of each
department is forthcoming. This will most likely not occur
until Fall 2013 or Spring 2014. Please remember that
regardless of design, the content on your site should be current. DEPARTMENT LISTS
We have created a list of the various Grossmont
College webpages and identified individuals we think are responsible
for either the content and / or technical updates in those areas.
This list has been provided to the Deans for input. This list will
help Chris Rodgers train and communicate with these individuals as
we move through the migration process. RECOMMENDATIONS
In the meantime, we would like to recommend that
those of you who are responsible for content on any Grossmont
College webpage to do the following.
-
Review your existing content for
accuracy and update as needed.
-
Identify content that should be
deleted.
-
Give thoughtful consideration to any
new content additions. Chris Rodgers is available for
assistance in terms of organizing your content and Anne
Krueger is available in terms of writing copy for the
web.
-
Please remember that we are asking you
to look at content, as opposed to design.
