About this page
Main findings from user sessions held with six secondary students from Aotea College and Wellington High in July 2015. (Acknowledge some degree of bias hereSix Wellington secondary schools were approached, but only these two responded. We acknowledge the lack of a voice from schools where students may be strongly career focused.)
Key points
- Don't understand our terminology, including 'courses' and 'programmes'.
- Want to know 'how it works' in terms of putting a degree together.
- Want to see courses they'd study early on. But very confused by info on courses (eg, on subject pages) - especially points and course codes.
- Information on employment not a major focus (this is a different finding from the TEC research: Info for Learners).
- Nav labels 'Study at Vic' and 'Life at Vic' well understood.
- Quicklinks commonly used (to access Course finder). Note that students may see this as a finder of subjects or degree information.
