Want to know from website: "I don't really know how it all works at uni." ? Mother has explained it but I do not yet have a grasp on it all. Publications were a good place for her to start but she wants more time to browse online. Does not really watch videos on websites as she prefers to read.What sort of jobs are related? Need to learn more about points, papers, degrees, subject? "What do I learn, exactly? How would I use/apply it?". How does uni differ from school (e.g. class sizes, formats)? If I was considering Auckland I would also want to know about accommodation/halls
High level I/A: First two signal areas a student would try to find out information on what they wanted to study, rest were to tease out understanding of the term.
- Faculty and schools: Broad areas eg science. Are faculties like subjects? Schools would be something separate.
- Study at Vic: Fees, f@s in here, broad area containing lots of stuff. Really want to know total costs and about scholarships
- Life at Vic: facilities, accommodation
- Current students: About them, features/profiles, what they do
- Future students: No idea even with prompting
- About us: history
- Learning and teaching: Methods, standards
2nd level I/A: First is the area a student would try to find out information on what they wanted to study, rest were to tease out understanding of the term.
- Subjects or study areas (broader than subjects)
- Careers and qualification: Ba, like degrees, etc. Maybe relates to getting a career?
- Programmes = groups of papers, or maybe similar to a degree
- Papers - courses
To enrol: Future students
Starting on the home page: Asked to find a subject or area they wanted to study
Straight in to Course Finder (via quick links), then selected science as a subject
K expected to find courses/papers in the science area. Was too broad so returned and selected biomedical science, then entered a specific (300 level) course screen from the result list.
Saw 200 level prerequisite so inferred that they were in a third year course. Then wanted to know what the school pre-requisites were (i.e. what they could do before coming here to be better prepared).
Redirected to look for a subject of interest, tried Research, came back out, tried MyVic and got stuck (return but effective).
Guided to Future Students, articulated a desire to work backwards from a career and found exactly this option.
Would rather read than watch videos on websites, so waded through long pages on how degrees are put together.
Still had questions ("Can I do all {any} subjects as a major?"
Guided to the subject listing page. Selected biomedical science and early on wanted course information/details. Also wanted more details about careers using this subjecyt, not just the job titles.
Subject selected for Treejack: Need to match up with results in the tool
- Music
- Biomedical science
- Chemistry
