Take Advantage of CommonSpot Open Labs to Help With Web Site Redesign


Return to Events

Current CommonSpot clients and a new set of CommonSpot clients are now working to migrate their Web sites into the university’s new Web design, which was unveiled Sept. 30.

The university’s goal is to have all current clients, colleges and academic Web sites transitioned to this new look via its free content management system by Feb. 28, 2010.

Because this redesign brings with it the need to move every page in existing CommonSpot Web sites to a new database, and will require new uses of the content management system, even current users will need a CommonSpot crash course.

To keep the project moving, a weekly series of open labs will be hosted to support end users and provide ongoing training. Each session will take approximately two hours. Training materials will also be available online.

Seating is limited, so be sure to register. However, keep in mind that you must meet with a University Communications and Marketing Web team member prior to registering for an open lab session. These initial meetings will allow the Web redesign team to migrate current CommonSpot sites into the design on a rolling basis.

The open labs will be held in Room 333 of the Kent State Library through March 30, 2010:

  • Feb. 2 , 9 – 11 a.m. and 11 a.m. – 1 p.m.
  • Feb. 10 , 1 – 3 p.m. and 3 – 5 p.m.
