The following sections outline the mission, history, and implementation of the eCalendar project, which has been developed and enhanced by ±«ÓãÖ±²¥'s Enrolment Services into what is available today. Adapted from the print Course & Program Calendar publications, the eCalendar includes all official course and program information, as well as university regulations, in a dynamic, clear, and searchable format.
Goals:
- Provide an efficient and collaborative workflow process for the production of all University calendars.
- Store all calendar information in a single content repository.
- Automatically pull course, program, and teaching staff information from the Banner ERP into the calendar.
- Allow for multi-format publishing (e.g. PDF, HTML, mobile) from the calendar repository.
- Allow WPS editors to publish calendar content pulled directly from the calendar repository and kept up-to-date automatically.
- Provide a powerful and intuitive search mechanism to discover calendar information.
- Maintain publicly archived versions of all electronically published calendars.
