The OSU inVirtual Perspective Technology Team has authored a new article discussing the opportunities created by Web 2.0 technologies. “BYGL Newsletter – New Website for 2008 is iPod-Ready!” Educational Update will be published in the May 2008 issue of The Buckeye.
The article discusses the layout and organization of the new website for the Buckeye Yard and Garden onLine (BYGL) Newsletter. The new site [ bygl.osu.edu ] was designed by the OSU inVirtual Perspective Team. Weekly content is provided by members of the Ohio State University Extension Nursery Landscape Turf team, assisted by Cheryl Fischnich who handles the posting of all content into the BYGL’s new content management system.
The new site, was developed using the content management system, JOOMLA!. This system has been used by the inVP team to design new online homes for OSU Extension Master Gardener Volunteer Program, OSU Buckeye Turf Program, Ohio Bioproducts Innovation Center, Center for Multifunctional Polmer Nanomaterials and Devices, and the American Society for Horticultural Science. The new site complements the timely news stories being written by the authors through the use of attractive photos, RSS news feeds, and direct links to various bookmarking and news story tagging services.
