The aim of the course is to enable students to understand the organizational and technological problems of implementation and use of technologies for digital libraries to manage digital content. This course focuses on dynamic web content management systems based on database management, installation and administration. Will discuss the organization and management of textual and multimedia objects, management of information flows, the integration of syndicated content and other web services (blogs, wikis), management of communication features and analysis of the use of these systems through log analysis. PROGRAM LESSON 1: History, evolution and characteristics of web content management systems (WCM) LESSON 2: Types and tools of WCM LESSON 3: Installing, configuring and setting up website with WCM: functional analysis and prototyping LESSON 4: Usability, management and accesibility of WCM interfaces: templates and style sheets User centered design Web frameworks and adaptative design LESSON 5: Search engines, metadata and schema.org in WCM LESSON 6: The importance of robots.txt and sitemaps LESSON 7: Content strategies in WCM LESSON 8: WCM Security

Theorical knowledge acquisition (3 ECTS), through lectures, teaching materials prepared by the teacher, online tutorials, readings, and personal study of the students. Acquisition of skills and abilities (3 ECTS), by the administration and administration of a CMS. Students must define a use case defining different users with different access policies, will create a variety of content and activities and will learn how to integrate different services and work as a team. The methodology of this course involves learning as a process of construction, and teaching as a support. Thus the teaching-learning process will encourage continuous learning and collaborative students, facilitating the exchange of experience between them. Activities: Individual Readings Public presentation Implementation of particular functions on a CMS Documentation on the use case defined Final Report on the learning process Group Participation and debates on forum Group work (project): implementation of a CMS, views definition, accessibility, internal search engine, metadata, logs, etc.
