Using CommonSpot to Maintain
Ohio University Web Sites

This seminar is intended for people who have already migrated a Web site into CommonSpot, or who have built a new site in CommonSpot. It provides guidance for the process of sharing the site maintenance work with other people, who will have taken the "Content Contributors" seminar, and includes more information on some of the advanced features of CommonSpot. We anticipate that this will be one two-hour session.

Aside from the fragments linked below, the materials for this seminar are not yet available on-line.
