Learn how Technology Services Group leveraged Liferay and Alfresco to create an online community for United Cerebral Palsy (UCP) of Greater Chicago that educators across the country utilize to access material focused on teaching students with learning disabilities. The site provides access to resources, downloads, and on-line classroom videos, leveraging a Liferay portal front-end. We’ll demonstrate how we integrated Alfresco with Liferay, leveraging Alfresco Share as the primary content repository and publishing interface. We’ll explain our process using OpenMigrate, review how we utilized Alfresco Share Site functionality to drive Liferay content, how we integrated Adobe Connect to deliver video, and took advantage of open standards.
