About WAB (Web Advisory Board)
The World Wide Web (WWW) is transforming how we do business in higher education. Instruction, administration, and service are all affected. Recently, the Information Technology Roundtable (ITR) commissioned a WWW development working group to study the WWW and multimedia technology at NDSU. The working group and the ITR recommended a WWW Advisory Board "to guide overall web strategy and ensure recognition of resource needs and strategies to support and enhance the university's mission." The NDSU World Wide Web Advisory Board includes representatives from administration, instruction, research, outreach, students, and from the ITR.

The overall objective of the Board is to provide for the creation and maintenance of "a significant NDSU Web presence for both external and internal educational, marketing, and, informational service purposes." The Board will be responsible for:

  • Promoting our web site, http://www.ndsu.nodak.edu/, as the integrated center of all Web functions at NDSU;

  • Developing a set of evolving technology and design guidelines that track evolution of Web-based and multimedia technologies;

  • Coordinating the home page presence of NDSU divisions (e.g., colleges, departments, athletics, administrative services, etc.) in such aspects as major links, minimal down-load time, and coding efficiencies; and

  • Insuring that home page guidelines are developed with interdisciplinary input and that such guidelines allow for creative presentation of the diverse interests and services of this land grant institution.
