As content management is a set of processes and technologies that support the collection,rnmanagement, and publishing of information in any form or medium, its applicationrnbecomes crucial in different institutions that utilize and produce digital contents in day tornday activities. Higher education institutions are one of such institutions that hold a vastrnamount of digital information that need to be managed including course contents,rnemployee and student databases, academic and administrative rules and regulations,rnpublic notices and internal communications, laboratory manuals, maps and images,rnmultimedia contents and so on. As the volume of digital information increases, itsrncomplexity of sharing and management also increases. To overcome this problem, therernshould be a content management system that can ensure the efficient management andrnsharing of these digital resources. Therefore, the objective of this study is to assess therncurrent practice in digital resources sharing and management in Ethiopian Universities, inrnparticular that of Wollo University, and to identify the possible problems occurred in therncurrent system and to propose a content management solution by developing a particularrncontent management application for the Intranet of Wollo University that improves thernteaching-learning process and enhances communications between users by allowingrnmembers of the University community to easily create, edit, review, publish, re-use, andrnmanage different digital resources in various formats.rnTo come up with some solution, we have studied the current practice in teaching andrnlearning and administration activities of Wollo University and we have identified problemsrnof the current system. The identified problems that are related to the traditional teachingrnand learning and administration activities have been solved by developing andrnimplementing a content management and sharing system. The system is implemented onrntop of the University’s Intranet so that it can run without the need to have Internetrnconnectivity. Moreover, the system can be used to share digital course contents thatrnimproves shortage of text and reference books, can facilitate self-learning opportunities tornstudents, can support administration activities in terms of digital resource sharing andrnintegration of modern ways of communication methods such as discussion forums,rnmessaging, and chatting. We have implemented the system, and System Usability Test hasrnbeen done by using Wollo University community members as participants and realrnenvironment data. As the feedbacks collected from users showed, the system has broughtrngreat improvements for Wollo University and has shown promising results to be used byrnother Ethiopian Universities.rnKey-Words: - Content Management, Digital Resource Sharing, CMS, Course ManagementrnSystems, Digital Communication
