Subject: Web Site Management within Schools

All,

Curious to know what kind of internal structure other schools have in =
place
to manage their websites... Especially, those schools that have =
outsourced
(Finalsite, Whippe Hill...) the development and hosting of their web
presence.

Website: Whipplehill (private side & public side)
- Is it strictly owned, controlled, and managed by your =
Communications
department?

The Communications department has primary responsibility for all content =
and management of the site, both on the private and public side of the =
site. They provide user support with navigational issues and access to =
content (usernames, passwords, role assignments, role functions allowed)

- Does Academic Administration have the opportunity to alter the site
(with strict permissions)?

Yes, all departments have been trained to manage their own pages: =
yearheads, librarians, counselors, administration, after school activity =
coordinator, athletics, committee chairman, etc.. The Communication =
department can set rules on whether content must be reviewed before =
displayed, but for the most part these departments can post News, =
uploads, pictures, etc. without the Communication Department granting =
permission.

- How much of a role does the internal Tech staff have with the site?

Assist with technical operation of the site, provide assistance with =
user management (mass uploads, changes, passwords, usernames, etc.)
- Do you employ a FT/PT webmaster?

Communications department employs a full-time webmaster.
- Who within the school attended training on how to utilize the CMS?


Thanks in advance.
