We had a packed agenda at this month’s WPC session with presentations about EdWeb Group Administrators, two new content types for EdWeb, a report from Google Analytics training, the results of the recent EdWeb feature prioritisation survey and a guide to applying EdGEL to your web apps and blogs.

On Wednesday 26 May, we’ll be deploying two new content types into EdWeb that allow University staff and postgraduate students to manage their own profile, and for EdWeb editors to create overview pages in their sites that highlight those profiles.

A couple of weeks ago we distributed a short survey to all EdWeb CMS users, and also invited participation from their colleagues who, while not using the system directly, are stakeholders in the management of University websites. In this post, I share the data collected, and provide a little commentary.

A few common questions come up at support clinic sessions about EdWeb features and functions, some of which are not always easily answered by guidance pages. This post answers those questions having to do with the behaviour of unpublished content, reusable content and events.

The University homepage has received a dramatic new look marking the completion of the website migration project to EdWeb. The EdWeb project has been delivered collaboratively by teams within Information Services, including IS Applications and with stakeholders from Schools, Colleges and business units around the University.

A highlight from this month’s Web Publishers’ Community Session was our guest speaker, Damon Querry, who presented on his experience with the EdGEL. The session also included our monthly EdWeb Project Update, a talk about the decommissioning of Polopoly, a presentation on Agile Content and a more technical overview concerning the use of the Web […]
