Publishing with Content Management Systems
X438 (2 semester units in Journalism)
Content management saves money by delivering content to market faster than traditional authoring techniques. Migrating to CMS from modular publishing reduces the need to install and host authoring tools, master complex markup languages, and access remote databases. Learn how to use products, such as Joomla, to generate appealing websites, wikis, and courses, with an eye toward publishing in virtual worlds. Content management continues the trend of single-source publishing and fulfills the interactive and collaborative promise of Web 2.0 as well.
Explore the benefits and limitations of a variety of content management systems, including Wordpress, and Moodle. Through an in-depth study of this e-learning platform, you discover how its many features can easily be used to manage an entire school. You create a project that demonstrates best practices in content management authoring as it relates to your own publishing needs.
