Web Rights and Responsibilities Training and Certification

As the University of Montana’s Web presence continues to expand, it becomes increasingly important and appropriate to more carefully monitor the ways in which Web technologies are being used by campus constituencies. The decentralized approach to Web development on campus has led to more widely scattered Web servers, technology administrators, and Web developers. Since it remains unlikely that Web development will become entirely centralized under University technology management, it remains vital that management be aware of who has access to Web services and how they are using these services.

The University of Montana requires all people responsible for the posting of content on a Web server (primary or secondary) to pass a yearly training and certification program offered through the Information Technology Office (ITO). All web administrators and developers are required to have a basic familiarity and knowledge of UM Web development policies and standards.
