Page Comparison

Subjects exist on faculty sites, school sites, Future Students and Victoria International (VI). They are likely to be based on the same page/content, with "one content (i.e. one "asset ID").

At the highest level we either develop all topic and programme pages in private and then go live with them all in one go, or we go live in batches If the later we either

1. 'Remove' subject pages from school/faculty sites when topic pages go live; or
2. 'Move' the asset for subject pages from school/faculty sites to VI and then 'remove' subject pages from school/faculty sites when topic pages go live; or (Is there an option to publish .

I am discarding the option of publishing new topic and programme pages but

leaving the old ones (on at least some sites) live until all topic-programmes are up and then turn off all the old ones

. We do not want to increase the number of versions of the truth or leave old/dated subject pages live any longer than we have to.

Launch the full mega-topic and topic structure with the first topic(s), but with all other topics/subjects mapping to the existing subject pages

1. Remap Future Students and VI to the new topic pages in the same "batches" as we plan to use for go-live on Future Students; or
2. Work in moving old content to a new location, but it would allow us to bundle up all the batches on Future Students to one release for Victoria International.

Enabling new topic pages with the matching UG programme page seems to be the most sensible approach, in that it delivers returns early, minimises the risk of a big go-live and allows us to learn and tailor our approach as we go

Subjects that are PG only can be studied (only) at the PG level could be mapped to existing programme PG pages , until we are able to rewrite them.

remap them. However, turning off subject pages may, in some case, remove programme rules that are not available elsewhere on the website

In this case we might have to move the PG rules from a subject page to somewhere on the existing PG programme page.

The related topics block might be "messy" until all topic pages are developed. We could map to old subject as an interim or develop the block in a later release.

Reputation/image during the transition period: Some subjects are covered by new topic pages while others are still on old subject pages.

Faculties' willingness to have the new-old version split live at the same time. Easier to manage when a faculty has a tight offering but difficult for the broad ones.

(No matter how much we try) We will fail to identify all the links that we break when turning old pages off. So long as we fix them promptly when we find them (ideally via a pro-active tool search but at least when reported) it should be okay.

See above

Further, it is unlikely that we can "remove" old subject pages until we have enabled the new programme pages, as the subject page currently has the appropriate major rules. So, our rewrite of the programme page is not only to "refresh" the content but also to integrate all the major rules that are currently on the subject pages but will not make it through to the new topic pages.

Ideally, all courses would have outlines published via COO. We should map to the course finder result, even knowing that it is only a subset of attributes available on an outline.

Might be pulled through to a PG hub/zone, if and when one is created

Needs that are so different that they can not be let by a topic or a programme page approach
