Documentation:CTLT Instructional Technologies/Web Services Introduction

About

The Centre for Teaching, Learning and Technology’s web development efforts focus on creating sites that enhance teaching and learning, support community engagement and enable resource sharing and content re-use. We use WordPress and MediaWiki frameworks and implement best Web 2.0 practices to deliver user-friendly solutions that are easy to maintain, manage and scale. We partner with UBC IT to integrate with other campus services. Websites that we build are hosted on UBC IT’s VM servers, and have CWL as primary means of authentication. In addition, we have developed ways to pull content from other UBC sites (e.g., UBC Events) or feed (republish) your website content to other sites (e.g., WebCT Vista and/or Connect, department websites).
