The University of Maine System has provided a website tool to aid in the important task of managing the quality and accessibility of web content. Monsido has been scanning UMaine websites, and interactive reports are now available.
If you want to learn more about Monsido’s reports and how you may use its information to fix broken links, find misspellings, and find where content updates are most needed, we are providing 1 hour overview sessions to share what we know about this tool and how you can use it. If you have not yet begun using Monsido, Digital Communications can set you up with an account; email mike.kirby@maine.edu to get started, and review your site’s scan results.
