The example Architecture topic page was developed to help provide a content perspective that would help the project team and internal stakeholders visualise how understand how the concept of grouping subjects under a topic would work.
...
When the topic groupings are finalised (Paul and Sam are working on this), we'll present those groupings and the example page for final approval. Ideally, the page will be presented in a designed format.
Outcomes of design work
- Design is fresh and engaging for school students.
- Design is intiutive and navigable for school students.
- It's clear where to go next: key links and 'calls for action' are obvious.
- Faculties and schools, and decision makers, think it has the WOW factorProject team and internal stakeholders can visualise how the concept of grouping subjects under a topic would work.
- Project team and internal stakeholders can understand the concept of a topic page and what it might contain.
Output of design work
A design solution needs to be developed for the example Architecture topic page. This should be something we can show to decision-makers in the university so they understand how the page would come together. It should also be useful for next stages in design/dev work.Anne and Josef will go over the example page before he starts work. Anne will explain the thinking behind each piece of content and how it is relevant to the target audience.visual solution that shows the layout and approach for a topic page, along with key links.
General notes
- The example topic page makes use of three types of 'media' items: embedded video; an image with an associated story; and a slideshow with an associated story. It is envisaged that any of these media items could be inserted at any point on the page to help 'tell the story'.
- At present the page is divided into three sections by tabs, but this isn't a requirement.
- It's important that the current content is retained and presented in the order that it appears on the example page: that will help us to see that the design will work for the content - and also where the content might need adjustment.Suggestions Suggestions for improving the content are most welcome.
- When developing the example page, a lot of discussion was had about links that took the person off the page. We want to keep them on the page as much as possible, while showing them next steps (eg, enrol, visit programme page), related areas (eg, related topics) and links to related content.
