Length: Short Talk

Target Level: Beginner

Target Audience: Integrator, Developer, User

During spring 2020 at the University of Jyväskylä, we developed an integration with our study information system Sisu and our new GatsbyJS-based Study Guide https://studyguide.jyu.fi/2020/en

However, one organization, the Open University of University of Jyväskylä needed more: they wanted to also have more customized content in addition to just basic study information. They wanted to have images, videos, and customized text blocks for each of their over a thousand courses. That is when a Volto-integration came along, resulting to this: https://studyguide.jyu.fi/2020/en/ou/

I will conduct a survey to new Volto users at Open University of Jyväskylä, asking on how they managed to create over 2500 pages of content in approximately a month, each page having multiple blocks that are linked to different parts of the study guide.

I will find out, what were their experiences with Volto, what were the pros and cons. Some users, if not all had also experience with Plone 4.3 or 5.1, so I can also compare that to the new way of doing things.

This presentation will hopefully give valuable insight to both Volto users and developers alike.
