Web Page Development Guidelines for Commissions
Each
Commission web site will have separate web pages devoted to the
information categories listed below for which the content suggested
for each page is explained.
Commission
Home — Considered the home page for the commission
web site, this page includes the commission's mission statement
(if one exists) and a short description of the purpose of the commission.
The short description on this page for each commission can include
the information printed in the annual Commission and Interest Group
Brochure. The Commission Chair's name, office phone number, and
e-mail address will also appear on this page. As Chair, you are responsible
for providing revised content for the mission statement and commission
description as needed, and Executive Office (EO) staff will post
the changes.
Commission
Goals and Objectives — This page includes the overall
goals and objectives established for the commission. This information
can be taken from the annual fall report and/or the post-conference
report submitted annually to Division Representatives and can be
updated automatically by EO staff when available.
Commission
Leadership — The commission chair name and contact
information is listed on this page as well as that of the
chair-elect (if applicable). If the commission has a steering committee
or other committees, the members of those committees can be listed
as well. Should Operating Principles exist for the commission, this
information can also be posted to this page. As Chair, you
provide the information and EO staff will post it.
Commission
E-mail List — A direct link is made from this button
to the current web page that provides the instructions for subscribing,
posting messages and unsubscribing to the commission e-mail list.
You do not need to update this page-it is standard list serve information.
Commission
News & Updates — If
you have a commission newsletter, links can be displayed on this
page to the various issues. Reports submitted by commission chairs
are linked to this page. Updates on commission activities
and news are also posted here. As Chair, you provide the newsletters,
reports and news information and EO staff will post it.
Commission
Resources — This page is used to post links to commission-related
web sites that serve as vital resources for commission members or
other resource information. As Chair, you provide the resource descriptions
and web addresses, and EO staff will post it.
Commission
Awards — The Executive Office will post the names
of the recipients of the Commission's annual Service to Commission
Award (if applicable) and the names of commission members who are
recipients of NACADA awards. You do not need to provide any information
for this page-it will be automatically updated by EO staff.
Commission
Conference Events — This page can be used to post
the following information:
-
a
list of the commission-sponsored sessions being presented at
the annual conference each year, your annual commission meeting,
and other commission-related sessions (CIGD Fair, hot topic
sessions, roundtables, etc. )
- information
regarding the Commission and Interest Group Fair held at the conference
- an
agenda for the Commission meeting held during the annual conference
- links
to various national or state conferences on topics of interest
to commission members
The
commission-sponsored sessions will be posted automatically by
EO staff after these have been determined by the conference committee.
Information on other commission-related sessions, the annual meeting
agenda, and links to other conferences of interest are provided
by the Commission Chair and then posted by EO staff.
GENERAL
GUIDELINES:
-
The
commission web pages can be updated as needed anytime during
the year. While the Commission Chair is responsible for coordinating
the content for most of these pages, the actual updates will
be executed by the Executive Office staff.
-
As
Chair, you are ultimately responsible for the content of your
Commission's web pages as outlined above. However, you can appoint
a Webmaster to coordinate this responsibility.
-
As
the information for a particular page is received, it will
be posted to the web as soon as possible. The development
of these web pages is an ongoing process - all information
does not need to be provided at the same time.
-
Graphics
should be kept to a minimum on these pages.
-
All
content text should be submitted in a WORD document.
-
No
streaming video or audio content will be posted.
-
You
do not need to spend any time formatting the information you
will be providing. The EO staff will format the information
to fit the web page template. After the information is posted
or changes made, you will be notified via e-mail of the completion
of this task.
-
The
commission's web site on the NACADA server is considered the
official commission web site.
GETTING
STARTED:
-
Review
the information categories outlined above and visit your commission's
current home page to determine the information needed. To view
these web pages, click on the applicable link at the following
Division web site. The eight links in the left-hand
column will take you to the individual sub-pages for your commission's
web site. http://www.nacada.ksu.edu/Commissions/index.htm
-
Assemble
the content needed or document changes needed, particularly
for the home page, goals and objectives, news and updates, and
resources pages. Consider assembling a web team of commission
members to help with this process.
