- The ‘Undergraduate degree information’ piece of WIP2 work proposes to research user needs (completed), then review and improve the content on each degree page. Some technical improvements are included in the overall solution.
- This piece of work does not include postgrad 'degree' information, which should be reviewed when postgrad needs are considered in Phase 3 of WIP2.
Interrelationships
- This piece of work must be carried out in consultation with the BAU team - and particularly, with reference to IA decisions relevant to the area.
- Wider conversations have been started to address the difficulties that secondary students have with our terminology: decisions out of that will be highly relevant to this piece of work.
- This work has WIP2 interrelationships with Topics and Course information.
...
- Undergraduate degree pages are the primary online source of information about each of Victoria’s undergraduate ‘programmes’. They support the work of student liaison officers by advisors by providing prospective undergrad students with understandable information about relevant programmes, enabling the prospective student to select the degree that is most suited to them.
- In combination with topic pages, undergraduate degree pages aim to increase new enrolments.
