Learning outcomes:
After successfully completing this module, students will have an overview of the existing CMS systems and be able to use them competently. They will be able to work with a CMS, i. e. collect content, customize its appearance and add and develop modules. Students will learn about template languages, skins and scripts and be able to use them. Depending on the application, students will be able to select and set up the appropriate infrastructure, e. g. with proxies, caches or as a server farm. With the topics of search engine optimization, enterprise CMS, _Social Software_ and Web 2.0 they will acquire additional knowledge that they can use appropriately depending on the situation.
 
The goal of this module is to teach students to evaluate, adapt and use content management systems. In addition, they should also be able to introduce these systems and advise others on their use. Exercises, regular short presentations and project work in teams will help solidify the students´ knowledge and skills.
