Macromedia Contribute 3

 

Macromedia Contribute 3 is the new web page editing tool that allows University of Mary Washington web managers to update their department's web site(s). It is also a tool for creating and editing personal web pages at UMW. Many of the complex tasks that you previously used Dreamweaver for have been done away with by using Contribute 3. It has been customized for the University to allow a great deal of control and yet simplify the editing of web pages. We have also supplied faculty a set of templates to modify and place in their personal web space. Training is offered through the Division of Teaching and Learning Technologies and the UMW Web Communications department.
