- Each faculty and each school will have an area (or subsection or space) rather than a distinct site.
- Faculties and schools that are combined, or wish to be combined on the web, will have a blended area. See attachment for how these could be presented in a flattened IA. Combined areas could be provided for: Law, Engineering and CS, Architecture and Design, and Faculty of Education/School of Education: Te Kura Māori (to be discussed).
- The faculty areas and school areas will be located in About us > Faculties and schools.
- The faculty areas and school areas will be different from one another: they won't have duplicate content, and each of the two types of area will be tightly focused on a clear purpose and identified target audiences. They will be much simpler than the current sites.
- Where content represents a standard university approach, it will be located in a common area of the mainsite, rather than duplicated across faculty areas or school areas. For example:
- Student wellbeing and support will be located in 'Current students'.
- Alumni will be located in a new 'engagement hub' that is being planned.
- Overseas exchanges will be located in 'Victoria Abroad'.
- Content that is of high interest to Victoria's audiences will be centrally located on the mainsite, rather than in faculty areas or school areas.
- Courses, subjects and programmes will be located in 'Study at Victoria' (now called 'Future students’). The structure, presentation and content will be improved.
- Diplomas, certificates and professional development courses will also be located in 'Study at Victoria'. Improving the content is out of scope for the current project.
- Research centres and institutes, research projects, research funding and research partnerships will be located in the 'Research' section. It is proposed that research reports are located in the Library.
- Information about the location of Victoria's campuses, where to find faculties and schools within campuses, and higher-level content about facilities will live in an improved version of the area that is currently called Our campuses.
