Web Trainings

Augusta University Web Services offers multiple trainings for the faculty and staff who work diligently to maintain webpages for the university. OU Campus - Beginner and Accessibility Compliance are required to maintain web editor status.

OU Campus, our current Content Management System (CMS) is simple for those with basic computer knowledge, time to practice, and willingness to learn. Classes are offered monthly and alternate between the Summerville and Health Sciences Campuses. These trainings are always held in a computer lab and range from 90 minutes to two hours. All web editors will need to be able to log into a computer using their Net ID. CMS trainings will teach web editors how to:

• Edit Content
• Change Page Layout
• Insert/Remove Links
• Publish/Revert/Recycle Pages
• Create a New Page
• Utilize Snippets & Assets
• Even More!

As of 2019, Accessibility Compliance Training is mandatory for all web editors. It is an hour long class and does not require attendees to have access to computers. The goal of this course is to teach users the basics of how to follow legal guidelines while editing and adding content on the website.

Siteimprove is an accessibility and quality assurance checker we use to crawl the website each week to pinpoint what needs the most attention. In this course, web editors will be given access to their department’s QA reports and learn how to view and edit broken links and misspellings directly in the CMS.

Everyone who registers for a training will receive an Outlook invitation for it a few days beforehand. If you do not, but believe you are registered, please let us know.

All publishers are also welcome to peruse our topics covered online and re-take the courses as a refresher.
