How is WordPress used academically at Evergreen?

Program websites

WordPress sites are publicly viewable to all. They can be self-created and used in conjunction with Moodle. Make sure to notify your Academic Computing Liaison if you self-create a WordPress site for your academic offering so we can link it to the academic catalog and make it easy for people to find.

Examples
