Do you need to build a web site that enables communication and collaboration among students, teachers, administrators and alumni? Do you face tight budget constraints and a lack of resources?

Educational institutions need solutions to cost-effectively build and manage web sites. Learn how two web experts from Cornell University and the University of New Orleans used DotNetNuke to build cost effective, secure, flexible sites for institutions of higher learning. They will provide practical advice that will help you deliver winning web sites for your organization.

You will learn how to:

• Build, deploy and manage a university or college web site with limited resources for hundreds of non-technical content contributors
• Integrate social networking into your site
• Implement content approval workflows to ensure content accuracy before publishing
• Provide secure access to sensitive web site areas and ensure only authorized contributors are able to change key content

Our presenters will detail how they used third party modules to control development costs while extending the functionality of their sites. They will also discuss how they leveraged third party DotNetNuke design and development services to rapidly deploy their sites.
