UMass Create is a service currently in pilot that allows members of the UMass Amherst community to manage a hosted web space and install powerful, commonly-used web applications including WordPress, MediaWiki, Omeka and Drupal. Users can name their own web spaces (example: yourname.umasscreate.net) and take sites with them when they move on from UMass.

Web Literacy

Master the tools and technology that make up the web to build your own space online.

Reclaim Content

Learn to take ownership and control over the content you put on the web instead of handing it to third-party publishers.

Digital Identity

Explore the notion of digital identity and how publishing on the web can frame an identity.

Make your website universally accessible.

Understand student privacy (FERPA).

Use of UMass Create is governed by the UMass Amherst Acceptable Use of Information Technology Resources Policy.
