Background

� District determined all Maricopa

Colleges will migrate student & public

facing websites to the College 2.0

� College 2.0 template provides a similar

look and feel across all Maricopa

colleges makes website navigation

easier for students

Background

� New site combines District created

content (Fields of Interest, Degree/Cert

pages) with college created content

Impact on GCC

� Current GCC web hosting ends June 30,

2020.

� Only Student & Public facing pages

allowed in College 2.0

� Some GCC content will have to move to

other places/websites.

� District is NOT providing any assistance

for moving content. GCC is responsible

for moving all of our content.

Web 2.0 High Level Timeline

� Dec & Jan: Analysis & Team Training

� Jan & Mar: Build Menus & Structure

� Mar & April: User Training by CTLE & Move

Content

� April 24th: Preview from Current Site. All

Content should be moved and ready!

Content Migration

� Student & Public Forms -> College 2.0

� Employee Content -> New Intranet

� Employee Forms -> Dynamic Forms

� Library -> No Changes

� Athletics -> New Custom Site

� Blogs -> Stopped. No Replacement

Impact on GCC

� As Content is moved some editors may

need to update content in multiple

websites (student facing content vs

employee content vs Athletic content)

Employee Intranet

� Timeline

� Jan - Mar: Analysis & Site Setup

� Mar - April: Move Content

� May: Preview & Go Live

� Current Plan is for the Web Team to move

content to the Intranet

Athletics

� Vendor contract was recently signed

� Athletics will move their content to their

new site this Spring

� New Athletics site is expected to launch

before the end of June

What Stays the Same

� General structure & menus will be

similar to our current website

� GCC is the only college that will have

people that are not members of the web

team make changes to page content

� Changes will still need to be approved,

(moderated) by Marketing

Migration Process

� Based on our current site the Web Team

will build out empty pages for each

department

� Web Editors will go to training with

CTLE

� During training the editor will be trained

how to copy content from the old site to

the new empty pages

� Marketing will review and “publish”

Important Changes

� Employee Directory

� Move to Employee Profiles in College 2.0

� Specific People only: “Residential” Faculty & Some Staff (Directors and above)

� Profile Pages created “by request” via form

� Updates from late last year forward will be considered as “request” and a Profile page will be created.

� Shortly after Spring Break we will stop accepting changes to Directory pages on the current website, focus on new site only

Changes…

� Employee Directory

� No list of classes as “Courses I Teach” section on the page

� “Classes I Teach” button will be a link to “Find A Class” (last name only)

� No link to personal website

� Faculty/Staff pages for each department

will need to be maintained completely by

hand.

Changes…

� Degree & Cert Pages

� District Maintained Fields of Interest (FOI) & Guided Pathways

� FOI & Pathways pages cannot be edited by GCC

� No check sheets

� Curriculum will publish and un-publish

FOI & Guided Pathway pages based on

direction from District

Changes…

� Heavier focus on “future students”

� New site will use Google search

� No control over how site is indexed

� No control over when new or updated pages will be indexed

� No instructional content, only links to

instructional content

� No Syllabi, check sheets, etc.

Changes…

� Pictures on the new site require different

sizes, may be difficult to reuse existing

pictures

� “Less flexibility” of where pictures,

videos, etc. can be added to the site

� Only forms that are student or public

facing. Other forms must be moved to a

different tool

Site Improve

� We should start scanning our website with Site Improve about the time we start the Preview

� Please check Site Improve and update your current web pages so existing misspellings, such as: education, download, feasibility, careers and certificate will not be moved to the new site

� We have 29 misspelled words on our current website

Next Steps

� Web Team will continue to build out the

new site

� CTLE is working on Training

� Everybody Else: Update your content on

the current website so when you move

your content to the new site it will be up

to date
