  1. In this video, I will show you how to going to OU Campus and find your webpage on 91´óÉñèÏÈÉúǧÈËÕ¶.edu
  2. First, go to any page on the ju.edu website. For this example, I’ll use the homepage. But this process works on any ju.edu webpage. Scroll to the bottom of the page and click on the copyright symbol on the bottom left. It will take you to a login page asking for your username and password. You don’t have to have the @ju.edu at the end of your username. Hit login. It will take you back to the page. If you get an error message saying you don’t have permission to edit the page, don’t worry! You can still get to your webpage.
  3. Hover over the content button, then click the ‘Pages’ icon from the dropdown menu that appears. That should give you a list of all the websites in the university.
  4. From here, we will navigate to our site. So, for this example, I want to go to the marketing website. So in this filter, I’ll type in ‘marcom’. You can scroll through the list, but I feel using filter is easier. Marcom is brought up, so I’ll click on the site, and it brings me to a list of the pages in the marketing site. To go back to the list of pages, hit the house icon in the top left by your page name.
  5. I want to go to the homepage in marketing. The homepage in any given site will be named ‘index.pcf.’
  6. That’s all you have to do to browse to a certain page. Now, to go back, you can hover over content and go back to pages again. Or hit the pages button, up beside your checked out page.
  7. That’s all there is to it!

  1. You can insert an image one of two ways. The first is to right click in the content region, and click the insert image button. The second is to press the image icon in the toolbar, which appears as two mountains inside a picture.
  2. In the box that appears on screen, click the icon of the file with a magnifying glass over it. This will let us browse for our image. Once there, browse for the correct folder for you website. The title will be identical to the site’s name extension seen here in the URL.
  3. Once inside the correct folder, navigate next to the ‘img’ folder within it. Every site folder has an img subfolder. From there, you can choose an already uploaded image, or upload one yourself. To upload an image, hit the green Upload button in the top-right corner.
  4. You can now either click and drag an image file from your computer onto into this box, or press the green upload button to browse for an image. Once you’ve selected your image, you may find that you cannot fully upload it. Make sure the filename of your image isn’t red. If it is, you will need to rename it. Hover over the red name and press the Rename option that appears. Spaces and special characters are not allowed. If you are overwriting a previous image with the same filename as the one you are currently uploaded, check the Overwrite button before uploading.
  5. Once the image is uploaded, click Insert. Before we can push it to the page, we need to also add a description. The description is necessary for Accessibility reasons. People who have visual issues and use assistive technology such as screenreaders will hear this description in place of the image. Try to make it descriptive of the image, but not overly so. We have a picture of a koala climbing a tree, so that’s what I’ll write in the description.
  6. Once you’re finished, go ahead and insert the image into the page. From here, we can resize the image by selecting it with our mouse, and clicking the small white boxes that appear on the sides. Additionally, we can add a link to the image by right-clicking on it and pressing insert edit link. This will allow a user to go to a separate web page by pressing on the image. You can find the tutorial on adding links in the marketing and communications web tutorials page.

  1. In this video, I'll show how to insert a document into a web page. Once you've found your page of choice, hit the green main content button.
  2. You can insert a document one of two ways. The first is to highlight a line of text, right click in the content region, and click the insert/edit link button. The second is to press the chainlink icon in the toolbar.
  3. Click the icon of the file with a magnifying glass over it. Once the box pops up, you should see a ‘docs’ folder. If not, click the ‘www’ in the upper left, and you should see a list of websites show up. Browse for the correct folder of your website, and you’ll find the ‘docs’ folder within it.
  4. From there, you can choose an already uploaded document, or upload one yourself. To upload a document, hit the Upload button in the top-right corner.
  5. You can now either click and drag a document file from your computer into this box, or press the green Add button to browse for it. Once you’ve selected your document, you may find that it gives you an error message. Make sure the filename of your image isn’t red. If it is, you will need to rename it. Hover over the red name and press the Rename option that appears. Make sure it has no spaces and special characters. Click outside the file and the error should go away. If you are overwriting a previous document with the same filename as the one you are currently uploaded, check the Overwrite button before uploading. Once the document is uploaded, click Insert.
  6. Then, hit okay. That will turn the text you highlighted at the beginning into a link. Next, hit the Save and Exit button in the top left. Then, make sure you've published your page or the link won't work.
  7. Now that the page is published, we want to check to see if the button is linked properly. So we'll click the "View in New Window" button that appears at the bottom of the screen. Now, when you clink on the link, it should either open the document in a new tab or download it.
  8. That's all there is to it! Thanks for watching.

  1. This video will show how to add a photogallery to our webpage. Before we can insert a photogallery to our page, first we will need to create it. After logging in, hover over the Content button in the top toolbar, and click on the Assets dropdown. From here, you can choose a photo gallery if you've created it, or if you'd like to make a new one, click the New button in the upper right.
  2. Then, select image gallery. Next, give your gallery a name. it may be helpful to name it after the web page you're inserting it into. If you'd like, you can also add a description to help you remember what it's for. But it isn't mandatory, and no one outside of OU Campus will see it. leave the tags field blank. Next, hit the create button in the bottom right corner.
  3. Scroll to the bottom of the page. In the box labeled "Images", you can drag and drop images from your PC into this area, or click the grey Add button to browse for them. Notice that I selected images with an equal width and height to one another. To keep the gallery size consistent, only upload images that are 800px wide and 500px tall. Also, try not to upload any more than five images to any given photo gallery. Most users visiting the site won't pay attention to it for that long. Now that our images are uploaded, there are four attributes we can fill out. Title, Description, Caption, and Link. Make sure to fill out the title with a sentence or two that succinctly describes what the image displays. This first example shows a daisy in a filled of grass, so that's what I'll write. I'll do something similar for the next image as well. Whatever you write, make sure it's an apt description of the image, as if describing it to someone who can't see it or read it. For now, we'll skip the next three sections.
  4. Once you've finished uploading your photos and giving them a title, we'll hit the blue Save button in the bottom right. Then, the green publish button at the top. After it publishes successfully, we'll head back to our webpage.
  5. Then, we'll press the main content button. Next, we're going to insert the photogallery. Make some room on your page, place your cursor where you want the gallery to go, and click the "Insert Asset" button up at the top. It will be beside the puzzle piece icon. Next, we'll find our asset. I remember mine's name, so I'll go to the "Filter By Name" box and start typing letters until I find it. Once you've found it, hit the insert button in the bottom right. You should get a box that states that "The Asset Cannot be Shown." So what we'll do is hit the Save and Exit button in the top left, and the photo gallery should show up.
  6. That's all there is to it! Thanks for watching.
