A group of pilot participants had preliminary training from our initial consultants. CCSF developed a training plan through the TLC during the summer of 2009. Training sessions started in October and November 2009 and continue through the current semester.

Trainings, at the moment, are reserved for those designated to create/update department and "project" sites. Individual faculty members may choose to use CCSF Google Sites to create an instructional page. Instructors who created sites using Contribute, Dreamweaver, or other html editors may continue to use them.

Will my old site disappear?

Not for the foreseeable future. At some point we may retire some of our old servers, but no timeline has been set. You will be given plenty of warning if that happens. So you can link out to your old pages while you are working on other parts of your site in the new system.

What is the address of the site?

The new site keeps our Web address: www.ccsf.edu - pages on the old site are still available. You can link to them as you gradually work on adding pages on the new site.

Do I need an account? My supervisor/co-worker/department head already has one.

Everyone who works on the new site must have a personal account. Logins are now attached to a person, not to a site and logins should not be shared.

I just changed browsers and love using Chrome! Why doesn't the CMS work anymore?

Firefox is the preferred browser for the CMS. Internet Explorer and Chrome will not work.

What is the process for getting an account so that I can work on the site?

1: Get an account on the system: Fill out the CMS Account Request Form

• Print it out.
• Sign it and obtain any necessary signatures.
• Send the form to the address ON THE FORM by at least one week before the training session you choose.
• Filling in the account request form (and submitting it on time!) allows the site admins to create your account so that you can be admitted to and work on your CMS pages in the training sessions.

2: Sign up for a CCSF CMS Training: Pre-register here.

• If you want to add more than the one-session training allows, come to a followup (not pre-reg'd). They are listed on the TLC Calendar.
  
• Remember: so far these are for department/project/school representatives only—not for individual Faculty or Staff. There are several possibilities for sites for individual faculty/staff.
