Web Page Development Guidelines for Interest Groups
Each
Interest Group web site has separate web pages devoted to the information
categories listed below. The content suggested for each page is
explained.
Considered the home page for the Interest
Group web site, this page includes the Interest Group's mission
statement (if one exists) and a short description of the purpose
of the Interest Group. The information on this page for each Interest
Group will likely be the same information that is printed in the
annual Commission and Interest Group Brochure. The Interest Group
Chair's name, office phone number, and e-mail address will also
appear on this page (also for co-chairs, if applicable). The Interest
Group Chair is responsible for providing revised content for the
mission statement and Interest Group description as needed, and
Executive Office (EO) staff will post the changes.Interest
Group Home —
This page includes
overall goals and objectives established for the Interest Group.
This information can be taken from the fall or post-conference annual
report(s) that may be submitted to Division Representatives (optional
for Interest Groups) and can be updated by EO staff when available.
If no annual reports are submitted, then the IG Chair can submit
this information to the EO at any time for posting.Interest
Group Goals and Objectives —
The Interest Group Chair (or co-chairs,
if applicable) name and contact information will be listed on this

this information and EO staff will post it to this page.Interest

agenda, and links to other conferences of interest are provided
by the Interest Group Chair and then posted by EO staff.
GENERAL
GUIDELINES:
The
Interest Group web pages can be updated as needed anytime
during the year. While the Interest Group Chair is responsible
for coordinating the content for some pages, the actual updates
will be executed by the Executive Office staff.
As
Chair, you are ultimately responsible for the content of your
Interest Group's web pages as outlined above. However, you can
appoint a Webmaster to coordinate this responsibility.
As
the information for a particular page is received, it will be
posted to the web. The initial development of these web pages
will be an ongoing process — all information does not
need to be provided at the same time.
Graphics
should be kept to a minimum on these pages.
All
content text should be submitted in a WORD document.
No
streaming video or audio content will be posted.
You
do not need to spend any time formatting the information you
will be providing. The EO staff will format the information
to fit the web page template. After the information is posted
or changes made, you will be notified via e-mail of the completion
of this task.
The
interest group's web site on the NACADA server is considered
the official interest group web site.
