These pages are aimed at staff who are responsible for adding and maintaining content on the University's public webpages.
The information on this page DOES NOT relate to staff homepages/personal pages.
Each department is responsible for their own website and for keeping it up-to-date via properly designated web Content Providers (CPs). Heads of Department (HoD) are required to appoint CPs where none exist.
All Londonmet web pages are created using a content management system called Shado. Shado eliminates the need to know about HTML, Dreamweaver templates or FTP, and allows staff to simply add content through their web browser (Firefox is recommended). No separate software is required. CPs need to sign up for Shado training as soon as possible if they haven't done so already. Training is provided by Human Resources.
As a department, discuss the requirements of your website and who will be responsible for updating the different areas of content on your site. It is important to remember that we are a cross-campus university and all new content must reflect this. Liaise with your counterparts to produce a site that is relevant to both campuses and in accordance with university regulations.
Each department has been set up with an area on the Londonmet website. In order to publish to this area, you need a Shado account. Your request must be approved by your Head of Department.
For advice on general web issues or any problems you have with Shado, please contact the ICT Service Desk on 4444, or email ictservicedesk@londonmet.ac.uk, or via ICT Service Desk
