Cascade CMS Self-Study Options
If you are unable to attend a formal training session, wish to fit the training into your own schedule, and/or simply wish to take the training at your own pace, you may wish to contact webservices@uh.edu about Cascade CMS self-study options. You will receive links to previously recorded training sessions and will be set up as a trainee-User in the Cascade CMS so you can follow along and practice using the CMS.
Each recorded full session is comprised of a series of recordings totalling between 3-1/2 and 4 hrs to watch. Final working-User setup is contingent on the same requirements as in-person/Teams training participation. See: "What We Need From You" for more details on user setup requirements.
Cascade Server to Cascade CMS Transition
