Content Management System
A Web Content Management System is a system used to make management of the content of a Web site easier and more efficient. OU’s system (Day Communiqué) is integrated with OU’s active directory and can handle a large number of contributors in various roles and permission levels. The benefits of the CMS include the ability to edit and publish Web pages, update content without prior HTML knowledge, manage a media library, and much more. The Day system will automatically archive your old content and can syndicate containers of content across multiple sites for greater accuracy.Several sites are currently live in the CMS including the OU home page, Graduate Sooner, College of Journalism, International Programs and University College. Information Technology and the Web Communications Office are working to offer migration to approximately 50 of the most heavily trafficked Norman campus sites first.
Campus-Wide Event Calendar
Although the University of Oklahoma boasts an incredibly rich array of public events taking place on any given day — from a Management of Technology lecture at the Price School of Business to the Fred Films series at the Museum of Art — oftentimes it can be difficult for people interested in these events to find out about them. These potential event attendees may be OU faculty, staff, students, or the general public.Currently, the Norman campus has countless, separate online event calendars all over the Web. Many of these calendars contain duplicate information. To address this problem, we will release a comprehensive campus-wide calendar which will be fully operational soon. This calendar, which will also integrate with the Luminis Portal, is a wide-ranging campus collaboration and will feature OU event information in a categorized, searchable, filterable and printable system that can be accessed from multiple points throughout the site.
