Overview

After all the content for the new course is ready, it is published on the Test Server. The first step is to upload Prep, Intro, and Topic pages to the Stellent. Support Files go to Unix Server via an SFTP program (Fetch for Macs). Then, Prep, Intro, and Topic pages are tested on the Test Server. Particularly tested are the links to the support files. In addition, these pages should be checked for any formatting issues including appearance of strange characters. If everything looks good the course is pushed over to the UTeach Institute Secure Course Website.

NOTE: "abc" is used as an example of a course abbreviation in documents in this section

Three Important Steps

Having all of introduction, course preparation, and topics pages, and support files ready (i.e. content is ready and files are formatted correctly), there are 3 major steps to take in order to publish the new course:

        1. Uploading Pages to Stellent

        2. Uploading to UNIX Time Share

        3. Pushing Course to Test

 After completing these steps successfully, you should let IT folks know that everything works just fine and ask them to push the course to the live site.
