1.3: Website Content
Ensure that website content is readily accessible, updated, accurate, and routinely improved. Other Information:
How does your Agency currently ensure that website content is readily accessible, updated, accurate, and routinely improved?
Individual website business owners for the approximately 80 ED sites are responsible for ensuring that the content they post
is accurate, complies with all Federal and ED requirements, and is properly maintained. For small sites, the business owners
may handle this task directly or hand it off to the contractors who maintain the site for them. For large sites, such as the
main ED.gov site, this task may be further split among the many content owners who contribute to the site. The ED.gov Management
and Publishing Policies (http://www2.ed.gov/internal/wwwstds.html) lay out the roles and responsibilities of everyone involved
in supporting the main ED.gov site and specify the content management responsibilities associated with each role. The individual
content owners choose how to best handle these responsibilities, with some setting up formal approval processes or quarterly
content reviews, and others relying on more informal procedures.
