ItemWhoTo discussNotes
Order of PG programmesJane/Paul

Do we need a consistent approach to the ordering of pg programmes

  • good idea to present it professional then smallest to largest with some nod to how related the qual is to the subject page it is on.
  • However, if people have a good reason to have a different order then we can change it on a case by case basis.
Design of at a glance cardNathanShould these be long instead of square.
  • this has been done for the AOS pages but with few attributes
  • Nathan feels current approach is too jumbled with the two columns of square boxes
  • Nathan and Joe to discuss themselves
PG international 'How to apply'PaulHow do we best handle the PG how to apply information for international students? What and how many systems should master it?
 Apply buttonNick/writers

We've got the new standard PG qual Apply text

See for e.g. http://stage.victoria.ac.nz/explore/postgraduate-programmes/master-of-international-trade/apply-contact

Since apply is the key action we thought it should be a blue button. Should it and if so, who needs to do what?

  • it would be good long term to develop a system managing the dates and when students are able to apply.
Summary card insensitive to inter-subject differencesPaul

An example is "How can we accurately communicate that Information Systems in a BCom(Hons) has two intakes per year, whereas the other subjects have only one?"

Adding new content to 'clarify/correct' the situation can be done 'cheaply' but contradicts existing information and might just confuse.

Making the cards 'subject-sensitive' is expensive but provides the user with only the correct information for each subject in a qualification.

  •  Andrew Bredenkamp to look into how difficult it will be to customise information on the 'at a glance card'  
Non-major BA subjectsPaulWe need to list other subjects in the general UG degrees that aren't majors. Where can we best/easiest place them on the UG degree page? Use the BA as our example.
Do we list graduate qualifications on PG subject pages?Paul

Technically, they are UG level of study.

Most schools/faculties list them as PG, some as both UG and PG.

Many potential students think of themselves as PG students, so gravitate to PG programmes to look for their next study option.


External Google seems to override our HTML titleNick

e.g. In this search for text only on the MFA(CP) page when you select film

the title is "Film - Victoria University of Wellington"

(If you click repeat the search with the omitted results included you see a range of titles, one for each parameter (Film, Design, Music, Theatre) and one for the URL/heading (Requirements)

But the code of: http://www.victoria.ac.nz/explore/postgraduate-programmes/master-of-fine-arts-creative-practice/requirements?subject=film

shows:

<title ng-bind="MetaService.title">Master of Fine Arts (Creative Practice) | Victoria University</title>
