Example Scenario: The Science Department updates a standard paragraph detailing the prerequisites for a new advanced biology course. This component is shared in the central repository. The Biology and Environmental Science departments can then import this updated component to quickly update their course listings, ensuring consistency in course information across departments or sites. Customization is available for each site to add specific faculty names or lab requirements.

Leveraging Content Sync’s Content Cloud, the university aggregates this content, ensuring it’s readily available and optimized for users worldwide, regardless of device.

Content Repositories

Faculty or department editors publish general educational content, such as course descriptions or research findings, into a central repository. Editors from different departments can search for and import this content into their local sites with ease, customizing it to add department-specific details or insights.

Example Scenario: A university’s central science department conducts groundbreaking research on climate change. The findings are summarized and published in the central content repository. Editors from the Environmental Studies, Geography, and Public Policy departments import the summary into their respective sites. Each adds their own contextual information, such as how the research impacts their specific field of study or suggestions for coursework that aligns with these findings. This allows for the broad dissemination of significant research while enabling each department to highlight its relevance to their disciplines.
