NACS is always on the lookout for opportunities to bring technical expertise and demonstrations of useful tools and solutions to campus.
Last month, Sylvia Bass coordinated a presentation from Macromedia for campus Web developers. Jaimi Groothuis and John Schuman of Macromedia showed their content management software, “Contribute.” Contribute is an easy-to-use, full-featured web site management package which costs much less than similarly versatile alternatives. Participants included staff from Adcom, Parking, Humanities, ICS, Engineering, Biological Sciences, Housing, Department of Undergraduate Education, Campus Recreation, and Communications.
Attendees were treated to an in-depth tour of Contribute and their Web publishing system. John also demonstrated two new software packages. Macromedia Captivate allows you to record all onscreen actions to create interactive tutorials. He also showed us Breeze, a tool to have online meetings or training courses over the Internet using Powerpoint and Flash.
If you missed this demonstration and would like to learn more, or if there are other technology companies or products you would like us to invite to UCI, please contact NACS.
