User Training and Access

All new website editors must complete a two-step training process before receiving their user accounts from eTech. If you have already completed both steps, you may contact Amy Garner at amy.garner@ua.edu for editing access.

Step 1: Web Accessibility Training

First, all faculty, staff, and students who need editing access to any A&S website must complete the A&S Web Accessibility Course before receiving WordPress training and user accounts from eTech. This training is delivered online via Blackboard. After completing all seven modules with a score of 80% or higher on each quiz, email Lisa Yessick, digital content manager, at lisa.yessick@ua.edu. She will verify your scores and let our trainer know you’re ready for the next step.

If you have any questions, contact Lisa Yessick, digital content manager, at lisa.yessick@ua.edu, or Franklin Kennamer, web editorial specialist, at fdkennamer@ua.edu.

Step 2: WordPress Training

Once you’ve completed the accessibility course, the next step is to schedule a WordPress training session tailored to your specific site. At the completion of this training, your user account will be created, your editing privileges will be unlocked, and you’ll be able to edit your website. This training will be delivered online via Teams/Zoom.
