Please ensure all site stewards and editors are trained to current standards
The training schedule at is the source for upcoming workshops and new training opportunities.
The days and times for each session vary from week to week
Online self-guided trainings available:
Site stewards and owners continue to review and revise their mass migrated pages
This includes content updates, page consolidation, and remediation of old images and documents from Ektron sites
Rollout of SiteImprove access will continue as we begin the new calendar year and will remain a valuable tool as the NAU WordPress user community updates and maintains the various sites that are now live
