The first in a series of Drupal training sessions for JIBC staff took place December 13. The training was for JIBC staff responsible for overall administration of the website: Insook Kim, John Trimble, Lori Munro and Chris Wong. Domain7 conducted the training with the actual website that’s being developed, so it was exciting to finally see our ideas for the site take shape.
Part two of training for this group will take place December 16. Also that day, training will begin of Local Admins, staff who have been designated by education and instrastructure departments to maintain web content for their areas. As part of the training, Local Admins will get hands-on experience using Drupal. (Local Admins unable to attend the December 16 training will be trained in January. Refresher sessions for already trained staff will also be held in January. Staff designated as Content Editors will be trained after the website launches.)
By the end of this week, Local Admins who have been trained will be able to begin the important process of uploading content to the site. As Drupal is a brand new web content management system for JIBC, we know there will be an adjustment period with many questions about the system. Communications & Marketing, Technology Services and Domain7 will provide staff with support throughout this critical stage of the project, when we populate the site and bring it to life.
Please contact Chris Wong or Lori Munro if you have any questions.
