Course Specifications
Course Length: ½ Day

Course Description
Cascade is the new University of Alberta Content Management tool, allowing us to create and
manage content for our website and pages.
In the Introduction to Cascade, you'll learn what a CMS is, and the specifics of how Cascade
works. We will cover how to log-in, access, and interact with the Cascade interface, including
the dashboard and basic widgets, navigating around your site(s), and accessing specific pages
and content.
From there, you'll learn how to add a page, and then use the Rich Text Editor to insert basic
content and media to that page. This will also include adding links, lists, and images. While
adding this content, we will also talk about basic web and content design concepts.

*This is a University of Alberta specific program and will not benefit participants outside of the
