Microsoft Content Management Server
The learning landscape is more geographically diverse than ever. Students are no longer constrained to education options within their locality, or even the same country. The advent of the Internet added a new dimension to the teaching and learning process. Institutions must embrace this new channel to communicate with existing students and encourage new ones on a global scale.
Microsoft® Content Management Server 2002 is a cost-effective solution for schools, colleges, and universities to deploy and maintain Web sites for internal and external use. Dynamic content can be personalised and targeted for more effective communication with staff, students, and external audiences. Content Management Server 2002 is powered by Microsoft .NET-connected technology. This empowers users to rapidly create content-rich Web sites, without needing specialist knowledge of programming or Web technologies.

Benefits for Stakeholders
Institutions
Microsoft Content Management Server helps reduce support costs for Web sites by giving staff the freedom and power to manage Web site content as appropriate. Students, parents, or alumni can also be engaged, as appropriate. Technical resources can be freed up to work on other tasks, supporting other important ICT functions within education.
Students
Web site development is becoming more embedded in teaching curricula. Students can develop ICT literacy, and gain an increased sense of ‘belonging’ within their institution. Teachers are similarly empowered to develop Web sites quickly and easily that can support their teaching practice, and engage students more readily.
Teachers
Informed choice is at the heart of parents’ concerns about selecting the best education for their children. Up-to-date, relevant information from schools and colleges can help parents make the right choices for their children, and be kept informed about their progress.
Parents
With Class Server, parents can be kept informed of the child’s progress more frequently and easily. Contact with school can be maintained more easily, which can increase parent-teacher engagement.
