...

  • Paul met with Alison Munro, Carol Sorenson and Denise Blackett on 12/5/15
  • Faculty and School are tight/on the same page, mostly due to the 1-2-1 relationship.
    • This means working together will be easy, efficient and harmonious.
  • Early on the three participants had an "operation level" or compliance type expectations of WIP (i.e. refresh the content). By the end (I believe) they saw this as a "tactical" opportunity.
    • In turn, this raised issues about resourcing (to support the development of their new site)
  • They remember previous redevelopments, and not always fondly/positively. A lot of experience and knowledge we can tap in to
    • Some of the memories are of things they wanted previously but were told no/it is out of scope. I encouraged them to share all ideas, as this is the "elicitation" stage - Prioritisation comes later.
  • Denise has issues regarding the accessibility of support from the web team, or rather the lack of it (she wants to be listened to). I asked them to share these in the content management session.
  • Pathways to employment are important (due to professional body), as is industry and alumini connections
  • No not see themselves as similar enough to VBS to share a workshop.

 

Education

  • Chrissi and Paul met with Noeleen Williamson on 13/5/15
  • She is on board and prepared for what lies ahead.
  • Knows/appreciates that their content/website is not good (too wordy, confused, inconsistent, etc) and sees WIPII as a good opportunity to clean things up
  • Seems to be a lot of other change (is this "normal"?). For example, two schools will merge before the end of the year, 150 course will be "renumbered", programme options under considerable flux, etc
  • Was unable to find school representatives but will now, after hearing of the importance,  try again
  • Their faculty has different dates than others (longer/shorter periods for whatever reasons) that may need special treatment
  • Even when two schools have merged in to one, the there will be some remnant of the Kura (for research activities for staff and maybe students) that needs a web presence/expression
  • Some staff have strong views (so we encouraged her to invite them, despite her concerns that this might "derail" the workshop).
  • Have school staff (where students do placements) as an audience. Might yet have some unique needs?
  • Growth in PG ETFS, which she attributes to meeting market demand for more flexible programmes and pathways.
