Greetings all, At the marvelous IALLT 2007 conference, graciously hosted by Ed Dente, Tufts and good colleagues (thanks Ed and all!), Philomena Meechan and I gave a session UM.Sitemaker: Powerful Options and Data Tables for Building Comprehensive Websites session (abstract below). As a note to attendees, the site has been updated with the conference presentation. For those who couldn't attend but are interested, please visit the site and let us know if we can answer any questions of help! http://sitemaker.umich.edu/iallt2007 Best, Lynne ______________________________ Abstract Participants will learn about creating websites using UM.Sitemaker, a powerful open source web tool with authoring options that range from simple content presentation to complex data tables with various levels of access. Layouts include text and images, list of links, mixed media frames and data access tables. UM.SiteMaker is designed to enable administrative control, content authorship and access targeting specific areas of a site or specific files, and distributed across groups or individuals. Did we mention Unicode, a sophisticated WYSIWIG editor and a search function? Current implementations include professional and instructional peer review, conference sites, image galleries, portfolios and collaborative student publication. We will focus on instructional and administrative implementations by providing demonstrations of active course and departmental sites. ______________________________________ Lynne Crandall University of Michigan Language Resource Center 812 E.
