Web Publishing

NDSU has multiple services for web publishing, including Drupal CMS, Google Sites, and Sharepoint.

Overview

CMS

CMS is the primary platform for publishing web content at www.ndsu.edu. Authors do not need to know web programming and instead use a browser-based rich text editor to contribute content. CMS has a built-in workflow so that contributors can be authors only or authors and publishers.

Google Sites

Google Sites is a structured wiki- and Web page-creation tool. Sites allow anyone to create a team-oriented web sites where multiple people can collaborate and share files.

  • Create, manage, and publish web pages 
  • Organize and move content around 
  • Share your site to collaborate with colleagues 
  • Web sites may be public or limited to ndsu.edu personnel

Sharepoint

SharePoint is space where you can share documents with NDSU colleagues (not with external parties). The documents are in the Microsoft cloud, so you can access them from any computer with Internet access. One person creates a site and shares it with others on the team. All team members then can edit the documents, so it's an easy and secure way to collaborate with colleagues.
