The LFCC Web site now includes the ability to convert pages on the site to PDF.

Online Course Schedule Improvements

Nov. 24, 2009

Based on feedback received over the last few weeks, the interactive online schedule of courses has been updated to include several improvements. Following is a list of enhancements implemented within that application. In addition to the changes listed below, the overall speed and performance of the schedule has increased, with the groundwork laid to add additional performance enhancements in the near future.

Links to Individual Employees

Nov. 9, 2009

Two new features have been added to the employee directory:

  1. The name of each employee within his or her entry in the directory is now a link, allowing users to click and visit the contact information for an individual employee.
  2. Where applicable, the “alternative contact” for each employee now links to the directory entry for that alternative contact, making it easier for visitors to contact alternates when the desired employee is not available.

These changes will make it easier for visitors to use the employee directory, and also allow the webmaster to begin linking to individual employees throughout the Web site (rather than repeating contact information throughout).


Contact Information Added to Course Descriptions

Sept. 1, 2009

Contact information has been added to the lists of course descriptions. Now when you view the list of course descriptions for a specific discipline, a list of faculty members will appear on the left side of the page. The list of faculty members is based on the information provided in the “disciplines taught” section of the employee directory. For instance, if you view the list of biology courses offered at the College, you will also see a list of the faculty members who indicated in their employee directory entries that they teach biology.


Static Promotional Buttons on the Home Page

Sept. 1, 2009

The home page of the College Web site has been formatted to allow six static promotional items in the bottom left area, rather than the four that were previously displayed. In addition, the colors of the home page and the list of recent news releases have been improved. Read more…


Contacting Us is Now Easier

Aug. 25, 2009

The contact form used on the Web site now includes the option to choose a general category for inquiries. This enhancement will help reduce the number of e-mail messages that are sent to the wrong recipients. The categories that have been added to the contact form are: Read more…


Promotional Home Page Items Improved

April 2, 2009

Two new features have been added to the main rotating promotional area on the home page.

Promotional Carousel – A “carousel” has been added to the rotating promotional area on the home page, allowing visitors to scroll through images of the promotional items and click on the images to see enlarged versions of the promotional items.

Promotional Videos – YouTube videos can now be posted in the rotating promotional area.


Updates to the Online Employee Directory

March 10, 2009

The online employee directory has been updated.

The “brief job description” is no longer displayed in the directory. In place of the “brief job description,” we have implemented the ability for employees to indicate which disciplines they teach at LFCC, if any.
