IRC: Web Design and Maintenance
The IRC maintains most of the core departmental Web sites and produces one
to three new designs per quarter. Please contact us if
you are interested in any of the following:
| · |
creating an original Web site for research, instruction, or outreach |
| · |
requesting an IRC-maintained course Web site |
| · |
learning more about the Catalyst tools for self-maintained Web sites |
| · |
submitting a news item or revision to the Department of Communication Web
site, reporting errors, or updating pertinent information |
Policies
| · |
Please allow 24 hours, M-F for updates to departmental and course sites. |
| · |
In many cases, we ask that instructors maintain their own course sites, but
don’t hesitate to contact us for more information or one-on-one training. |
| · |
Departmental projects take precedent over the projects of individual faculty,
staff, and students. |
| · |
We establish turnaround times for individual projects on a rolling, case-by-case
basis. |
