    About Us

    The Office of Web Communications was created in early 2007 to manage new Web initiatives:

    Content Management System (CMS)

    Implemented in November 2007, the Day Communiqué system allows users without technical knowledge to update, manage and maintain sites. Though there are other content management systems currently being used on campus, Communiqué is an enterprise-level CMS that offers:

    • Scalability
    • Web-based
    • Campus Media Library
    • Centrally located hardware
    • Integrated with LDAP
    • Workflow
    • New functionality developed for campus

    Portal Project

    Want the most out of your OU website?  It's headed your way. A customizable information portal, developed to meet the needs of OU's internal users (current students, faculty, staff, researchers, etc.) is in the works. It will give you access to things like schedules, transcripts, financial aid, recruiting and admissions information and more!

    Internal users will have the ability to personalize pages to keep track of frequently used links and content. You will also have the capability to manage student test and assessment scores, attendance and many other student-related data needs.

    Campus-Wide Calendar

    We're working on a calendar system that will give departments on campus the opportunity to create and share public events. This calendar will also display in the new student portal. Features will include workflow for event approvals, web-based authoring, multiple views, event sharing and real-time updates.

    Web Guide

    There are infinite ways to design a site or create content. Because many different people visit various sites under the ou.edu umbrella, the university has adopted a standard to create consistency and allow a user-friendly web experience. Still, these standards should not inhibit a site's individuality or creativity. We've developed some easy-to-follow guidelines which will make your site simple to use. Read more about the Web Guide.
