OmniUpdate @ De Anza

What is OmniUpdate?

OmniUpdate is De Anza's Web content management system (WCMS), selected in summer 2007.

Using the power of templates, we've added navigation features and design options to our standard Web page design to help create usable, informative and up-to-date Web pages.

  • Easy-to-learn tool for creating and managing department and faculty Web pages on www.deanza.edu
  • Provides a selection of flexible templates to fit our Web site content needs
  • Work on your pages anytime, anywhere - all you need is a Web browser (Firefox 3.5 or higher) with an Internet connection. No more need for FTP or HTML editing software on your computer.

Please check back for the OmniUpdate lab schedule. This will be held in the new Staff Development Lab in MLC 243. A Web Team member will be on hand to answer your questions.
