Shared Authoring on the Web

[Bobby Sample explains Shared Authoring to James Quintero of SCC, Rebecca Salinas of GCC, and Chris Heilman of PC.]Bobby Sample of the GCC Innovation Center demonstrated programs for faculty and staff to use to publish information on the Web free of the usual demands of creating up-to-date, well designed, and multi-tiered web sites.

GCC's implementation of Shared Authoring entails a server program called ColdFusion which can interface with shared databases to allow for the development of a wide variety of applications that may be operated with common web browsers. The GCC Calendar of Events web site at http://www.gc.maricopa.edu/calendar/ is an example of such an application. New "wizard" applications for managing more routine department web sites are also being developed to further the goals of Shared Authoring, which are mainly:

  • to distribute the job of publishing timely and accurate information on the Web among teams of employees whose responsibilities otherwise place them in charge of that information; and
  • to remove the block of having to learn HTML and web site design, and/or the time demands of repeatedly dealing with web page programming, in fulfilling the responsibility of managing web-based information.
A rough overview of how Shared Authoring works is published at http://www.gc.maricopa.edu/webdev2000/shared.htm. Links to new developments will be added here when they become available.
