Update on OU Campus transition and new features
UAF and SW continue to transition from Roxen to a new website platform called OU Campus.
OU Campus is a web content management system that’s fast and easy to use and is designed specifically
for higher education. It’s currently used by hundreds of colleges and universities.
OU Campus was launched in fall 2018. Several websites have already migrated to the new platform.
If you manage a Roxen website but haven’t yet heard from the Office of Information Technology about migrating your site, don’t worry, you’ll be hearing
from them soon!
New features
OIT has developed a number of new features to improve the OU Campus experience based on updates to the platform and feedback from users:
-
Multipurpose Card Components (replaces the Callout Box Snippet)
-
Video Component (replaces the Embed Video Snippet)
-
Person Profile Component (replaces Person Profile Snippet)
-
Facebook and Twitter Embedded Timeline Components
-
Image with Caption Component
Training
Training for OU Campus and these new features is available on Blackboard. Just log in with your UA username and password to get access. You can do the training
at your own pace, but you’ll need to complete it before you can be granted editing
permissions.
