What You Need to Know About this Self-Paced Course
Foundational Web Skills
This self-paced, introductory course covers foundational web management skills to make content edits to a page. The course is being offered online for flexibility for the campus. You will be expected to read the guides, watch videos, and practice in the CM1 training section. This course does NOT cover advanced web topics such as menu accordions, drop-downs, or coding. You will need to work directly with the CSUDH Web & Mobile team web in many cases to make more significant changes to your pages. This applies to any menu changes your area would like to make.
