Weekly Web Updates – March 20, 2017

During the closure of the college due to weather last week we had an opportunity to test out the emergency alert banner on the website, which worked. We’ve added some padding to it to ensure the the messages are easier to read.

Updates

Fixes and Tweaks

  • Added an instruction to the robots.txt file for the Middlebury Drupal site asking search engines not to index the HR job descriptions archive there, since we prefer the version of those items located on the hiring site.

Ongoing Work

  • Creating a new website for the Middlebury Institute of International Studies.
  • Building out the configuration of our Omeka, and CAS servers in Chef, which is a configuration management system. We have already completed this work for our Drupal, WordPress, MediaWiki, GO, and the Course Catalog services.
  • Upgrading the Drupal sites for the Davis programs, Dining Menus, and Museum of Art to Drupal 8.
  • Integrating Panopto (streaming videos) and Canvas (LMS).
