The Web Development Office designs, produces
and maintains the college’s official website,
http://www.dcc.edu
, including site navigation, links, and templates
for college-related web pages. Included in this
purview are web pages for individual units,
departments, and organizations.
The Web Development team maintains and updates
the college’s site on a daily basis, working
with all affiliations of the college to provide
resourceful information online. The Web Development
team also works closely with the Office of Information
Technology to pursue new features and offerings
that are supported through OIT. In instances
where advanced programming is required or requested
the Web Development team consults with OIT for
assistance and recommendations.
All web pages must adhere to the design and
function of the college’s web site. Each unit,
department, or organization provides a representative
to serve as a web page author who works with
the Web Development Office to provide the content
and functionality of their unit or department
page.
With the introduction of Leepfrog Content Management
Software in 2004, web page authors now have
increased control over content, with the ability
to make changes in a timely manner to keep information
relevant and fresh. The Web Development Office
provides Leepfrog software training and login
account information for the user. All web pages
are approved by the author’s immediate supervisor
and also the Executive Director of
Public Affairs and Information
prior to posting.
Faculty-web sites are web pages that are not
linked from the public college web site and
are maintained solely by the individual faculty
member authoring the page or pages. Faculty
members are encouraged to use their own web
pages to post class assignments, communicate
with students, and use for general purposes
to benefit learning and student development,
as well as provide faculty members with an outlet
for artistic expression. Faculty web pages are
monitored for appropriateness of use by division
deans or department directors, or the author’s
immediate supervisor. Faculty web pages are
offered and available to all faculty members.
Please send your Faculty-web account request
to the Office of Information Technology.
The team also develops new ideas for the site
by using web-based surveys to gain viewer feedback
and recommendations for enhancement. The web
team encourages you to submit information or
report problems to
webupdate@dcc.edu.
The college’s web site does not accept advertising
and, as a rule, does not accept links to exterior
sites or pages. Exceptions are made for external
links on a case-by-case basis in order to serve
students’ needs, such as the link to Barnes
and Nobles bookstore or other affiliations with
the college or system office.
