Dear Colleagues,<\/p>\n
Our shared strategic objective to deliver a high-quality OneNAU website<\/strong> that is mobile friendly,\u00a0accessibility compliant,\u00a0and reflective of the vibrancy and vitality\u00a0of our NAU community\u00a0continues to move forward. Thank you to everyone for your excellent and impactful work on this transformation over the past 15\u00a0months. Information on the institution\u2019s progress can be found at https:\/\/in.nau.edu\/web\/site-migration-scorecard\/.\u00a0 This communication clarifies our current efforts and identifies\u00a0key activities\u00a0that will occur between now and the opening of the Fall 2018 semester.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Our public-facing website project (WWW) is focused on a OneNAU\u00a0growth strategy<\/strong>, which includes continued work on prospective student pathways for recruitment, college and program specific content, thought leadership presence, public-facing news, and other marketing initiatives to serve all our audiences and University initiatives.<\/p>\n The WWW project continues in three parallel tracks:<\/p>\n A project is also underway to identify and properly structure internal audience oriented web content<\/strong> for current faculty, staff, students. Sometimes referred to as an \u201cintranet\u201d, this internal-facing web site will provide information in support of the current NAU community audiences and improve access to functional aspects while keeping our external WWW messaging succinct and clear. Marketing and ITS are actively involved in supporting this effort.<\/p>\n To assist in a rapid migration of this internal oriented web content from Ektron\u2122 to WordPress\u2122, ITS has engaged a service company named\u00a0WordHerd\u2122 and the CIO has established a deadline of August 1, 2018<\/strong> to complete the migration of the internal-facing\u00a0pages to avoid increased risk of failure of the aging\u00a0Ektron\u2122 server in time for the upcoming academic year.\u00a0 We anticipate, and departments should be prepared for, some minor editing\/clean-up of WordHerd\u2122 migrated content.<\/p>\n Further communications and meetings on these initiatives will be provided to Unit Web Coordinators and Site Stewards, and additional information will be posted to the nau.edu\/web<\/a> website. WordPress\u2122 training will be ongoing and workshops for editing and creating web content are regularly scheduled to provide web editors with assistance. The WordPress\u2122 users group will also remain very active in providing collegial exchanges around best practices and future capabilities.\u00a0 If you have any questions about methods, process, resources, or technology, please contact wcm-support@nau.edu<\/a>.<\/p>\n Thank you for your continued support and engagement in this critically important project.\u00a0 Please share this message with others who need to know,\u00a0can benefit from\u00a0or contribute to our shared success.<\/strong>\u00a0 \u00a0Finally,\u00a0 please call on me, Ashley or our staff\u00a0in ITS and Marketing\u00a0to answer any questions or address concerns as we move forward.<\/p>\n Most Appreciatively, Dear Colleagues, Our shared strategic objective to deliver a high-quality OneNAU website that is mobile friendly,\u00a0accessibility compliant,\u00a0and reflective of the vibrancy and vitality\u00a0of our NAU community\u00a0continues to move forward.
