Prerequisites for Training in Our CMS (T4)

1. Your request for training in T4 must be approved by the head of your department or the person who is responsible for the content on the Web site you would edit.
2. Accessibility has become such an important aspect of Web content*, we require all Web editors to complete the following training courses in accessibility before we will train you in T4.

• • HTML Essential Training
  • Digital Resources Accessibility Awareness

These courses are available online through Bridge. You will need to score 80% or better on the quizzes following the various sections before you qualify for training in T4.

• A rule in the Texas Administrative Code for higher ed sites in the state of Texas requires that all new or revised content published on our Web site after April 18, 2020 must be accessible, or an accessible alternative must be provided.

Success depends on how often you use the CMS

Even if you have experience, training and strong computer skills, if you only use the CMS once in a while, your skills will quickly wane. It’s best to use the CMS weekly or at least every other week to keep your skills sharp.
