Learn how Higher Ed leverages power of Backdrop CMS for various use cases - from building new sites to upgrades from Drupal 7 before EOL. Topics include business case, selecting hosting platform, authentication, training for users and many other challenges.
The presentation will transition into open discussion about using Backdrop in Higher ed and non-profit space.
Failure happens. We’ve all experienced failure, and it's not fun. But, it does give us the opportunity to learn and, ideally, to plan better for the next time disaster strikes.
The web technology stack is ripe for failure because there are often so many pieces at play. Web servers, database servers, content management systems, third-party plugins, caching layers, networks, DNS… not to mention all the people who can bring a website down with the touch of a finger.
Multiple stakeholders, competing priorities, not enough time, and not enough resources. How can you effectively do meet every website need? Should you? In this session, we'll dive into a strategy and approach for forming a website roadmap that wisely supports your organization's business and delights your target audiences.
Join us for a quick welcome session and get an overview of WebCamp.
Let's meet up at the picnic tables in front of The Treehouse behind Tressider.
Join this session to learn more about the ADAPT project to modernize the Alumni Directory, specifically about how we engaged with stakeholders across the university to agree upon one centralized Alumni Directory.
Prior to the ADAPT project, the Alumni Directory was on PostGrads/PGNet where some schools had different instances of the Directory with outdated search capabilities. Our project team was able to engage with these stakeholders to move to one centralized Alumni Directory that uses a modern search engine, Coveo, that is now live as of March 2023.
It is critical to have a solid process for considering accessibility at every stage of the strategy, design, and development of a web project.

Working in a decentralized organization can be a challenge as collaboration and communication channels need to be set up between multiple groups. Often it can be difficult to get everyone in the same meeting to discuss a project, decisions can go undocumented or not shared with those that were unable to attend, and meetings can often be the wrong format for someone to fully understand and think through what is being presented.
The Stanford Humanities Center and Arcade, a digital salon, was looking to revolutionize their online presence. Through collaboration with a longstanding digital partner, Kalamuna, they were able to launch a new digital platform that allows users to encounter humanities research and reflection, unmediated. As such they are serving a broad community of fellows and former fellows, students, alumni, and the public.
The Site Audit module is a classic. It will reach 10 years old this June. It gives you a detailed report of your Drupal site in the web admin, providing a nice pass-fail display for review. It has a drush command that renders the report in HTML, text, or vulcan.
The next version of Site Audit can now not only display reports, but can save them over time, and send them to remote servers. A "Site Audit Server" module is now available to receive the reports via simple REST API.
This means you can:
