ITS Training Classes Scheduled for Sept, Oct, NovWe know many of you are in the process of moving your existing Web sites from the current NDSU Web server to the CMS (TYPO3) System, or to the new Public Web (PubWeb) server. We want to help make your transition successful!
To provide as much assistance as we can, we’re focusing all of our training sessions in September, October, and November on working with your Web sites. We have two different help options available:
- CMS (TYPO3) Quick Start Training Sessions (2 hours each – 30 dates/times available)
- S.W.A.T. Work Sessions (3-3.5 hours each – 10 dates/times available)
The first classes begin Monday, Sept. 28, (next week already!) and continue through mid-November.
Because these classes often fill quickly, you'll want to register immediately at www.ndsu.edu/its/training_resources/facultystaff_training (follow either the “Register Now” or “Register for Classes” link) to guarantee your place in the class you want! If a class is already filled and a waiting list exists when you register, please be sure to add your name to the list as we sometimes receive enough cancellations at the last minute to make space available for those waiting.
For a complete schedule and more information, visit the ITS Training web site at http://www.ndsu.edu/its/training_resources/facultystaff_training. Check out the “Class Descriptions” link for a list of the classes we can offer and descriptions for each. This link lists all classes and descriptions, even those not currently being offered. To print the full schedule (available in PDF format), click the “Current Class Schedule” link. To see classes listed by specific applications and/or topics, follow the “Classes By Topic” link.
As always, all training sessions are offered free of charge, and are open to any faculty or staff member. Students are also welcome to register for these classes on a space-available basis. Pre-registration for all classes is required! To register, click the “Register for Classes” link. *Remember to click the "Register!" button at the bottom of the registration form to submit your registration.*
If you enter your CORRECT and COMPLETE email address when you register for a class, you should receive an automatic confirmation notice via email shortly after registering. If you DO NOT receive an email confirmation within one hour, please contact Lorna at 231-6328 to check your registration.

If your department has made the decision to use the free TYPO3 Content Management System (CMS) for authoring and maintaining content on Web pages residing within the www.ndsu.edu domain, this class is for you!
TYPO3 allows you to focus on creating and maintaining content on the Web without learning how to produce complex HTML or other complicated programming code. The CMS template creates the page design and you just add the content! As an added benefit, your content automatically complies with current accessibility and usability standards.
In this two-hour class we’ll focus on just the basic information you need to know to get started using the CMS. Once you learn the basics you’ll be able to start working on your site and come back for more in-depth training later!
S.W.A.T. Work Sessions
S.W.A.T. = Special Web Assistance Team – we’ll be here to help!
If you want help moving your Web site content from the current NDSU Web server (webdev) to the new Public Web server (PubWeb), ITS staff members are available during 10 scheduled “come as you are” work sessions throughout September, October, and November.
Schedule Information
No registration is necessary for the Work Sessions! All you need to do is show up anytime during any of the scheduled S.W.A.T. Work Sessions and someone will assist you. This is a time for you to ask questions and get answers, and then we’ll help you do the work!
