Web Services supports website authors at UTAS by conducting web support forums and providing workshops on a variety of topics. Regular workshops are held for staff who have recently had sites moved or developed in the UWCMS MySource Matrix.
Web Support Forums are held two to three times a year on the Sandy Bay and Newnham campuses and on request at the Cradle Coast or other locations. Web Support Forums cover the latest developments in Web & Learning Services as well as provide an opportunity for questions, answers and networking. The presentations from the last round in September 2011 is available for download: Web Support Forum September 2011 (PDF 8MB).
