  • Anne and Paul met Theresa, Peter, Sue and Judith on 15/5/25
  • They believe there content is good/valued, albeit wordy, but ought to be somewhere else (it is only on a Faculty site because that was the only place they were able to put it
  • Their information is suitable to all PG by research, whether this be PhD (covered by their remit) or Masters by thesis (initially requested as their remit but faculties were unwilling to relinquish this).
  • Manage PhD admissions, candidacy and examinations.
  • Audiences are PG students and their supervisors (usually Uni staff but occasionally in centres or institutes)
  • Offer many workshops, "own quite a bit of policy, seems well connected with staff throughout the Uni, etc
  • Make a lot of use of email to communicate and would like to know of other/better alternatives.

  

New Zealand School of Music

  • Paul met Mark and Paul on 2/6/15
  • Overall, they view WIPII as an opportunity and are open to the possibilities and general direction.
  • Due to their unique circumstances (founded by VUW and Masey, own site, more independent, established on a "faculty-like" structure rather than a school, high outreach focus, etc) they currently have:
    • A brand: That VUW paid quite a bit for and has to decide what they want to do with
    • Their own website: In Squiz but built for them
    • Some unique functionality: For example extensive event functionality
    • Less compatible content structures: Possibly, but not even sure if this matters, given that we are not porting content straight through.
    • Higher need for rich media than some other schools: And have staff/people who do this post-production work
    • Revenue or benefit streams from performances/playing and bequeaths
  • Full extent of the changes (due to merging with FHSS) still being worked through and this process:
    • Creates friction/pain: At times and for some
    • Will inform how NZSM looks post-WIPII
    • Will be "advanced/brought forward" by WIPII
