It's based on the UG elements plus additions specific to PG that have come out of the PG User story WIP-591, checking existing Vic PG pages, other NZ university PG pages, analytics and discussions with staff about PG student user needs.
It's only roughly structured (based on UG pages) .
Which ones do we need
Which tabs do they go on
Controlled vocab vs. free text
On F/S pages
Standard content blocks
and isn't in priority order.
I figure it can help us decide things like which content elements:
- we need, in which order, on which tabs
- we don't need (or won't be able to source in time)
- might be best on faculty/school pages
- should be standard blocks
- use a controlled vocabulary
- will be useful metadata
