Architecture and Design

Fay Julian - Faculty Manager

Francis Saunders - Web Publisher (main)

above on maternity

  • One faculty site
  • Two school sites
  • Lots of visuals on site
  • More discreet piece of work
  • Their PG info has better structure
  • They want to push academic profiles more
  • Main web publisher on maternity so would have to deal with potential temporary member of staff?
  • Duplication of news and events. Shared from school to Faculty site.

Content is more aligned to future content approach e.g. postgrad

Does have separate sites for faculties and schools

PS: Looks like a good early contender.

Victoria Business School (Commerce)Ann Thomson and Kay de Malmanche - Web Publishers
  • One faculty site
  • Six schools
  • Accreditation commitments
  • Research split into - centres, institutes and chairs (chairs is unique to VBS)
  • Teaching matters - all staff content
 
Education 
  • One site which includes the two school sites
  • NZROE is a research centre integrated into the site
  • Te Kura Maori (school) - this has bilingual content as well as audio files
  • Study information does not fit with the normal programmes and courses structure e.g. they offer programmes not subjects (major), and conjoint degrees at UG level
  • Teaching experience - all staff content

Discreet piece of work, and the school information exist within the faculty site

Will be getting rid of one of the school sites (Te Kura Maori)

PS: Consider the desirability and practicality of timing our WIP work with this faculty to coincide with the "removing" of one school site?

Engineering 
  • One faculty site
  • One school site
  • Faculty admin run out of faculty of science
  • School site has integration of a wiki
  • A lot of video content that is not currently integrated on the site
  • Anything with the URL ecs.victoria.ac.nz/main is Wiki
  • Wiki has been skinned to look like website

Will the wiki stay?

PS: Maybe start by defining the purpose or need that it meets

Graduate Research (FGR) 
  • One faculty site
  • Contains all PhD related content
  • Has events - integration with Bungee
  • Not a teaching faculty - admin based
  • No specific PhD marketing material

Would we use a faculty site to deliver this?

More administrative than marketing. Marketing for PhD is with the other faculty sites.

PS: I am unsure exactly how/when their work applies to other postgraduate students?

PS: Maybe best tackled in conjunction with Postgraduate Information, rather than as a F&S?

Humanities and Social Sciences (FHSS)Melissa Gough - Web Publisher
  • One faculty sites
  • Ten school sites (including NZSM - bespoke site, not currently using Victoria templates, but hosted on Victoria server)
  • Lots of conferences so want conference templates, including online registration, abstract (documentation) uploads
  • Wai-te-ata Press, Confucius Institute, New Zealand Contemporary China Research Centre, and IIML are separate sites in addition to the schools
PS: Do we offer good/solid conference functionality (or are we better integrating to others that do)?
Law 
  • One faculty site, containing school information
  • Specific requirements the law school have to adhere to - need to confirm what
  • Events - want to tag events run by the separate centres within the faculty

Discreet piece of work, and the school information exist within the faculty site

PS: The one school one faculty relationship could make this easy for consolidation but learnings might not apply to other faculties.

Science 
  • One faculty site
  • Five school sites
  • Statistics, Mathematics and Operations Research also has a Wiki (similar to the one used by Engineering)
  • Conjoint programmes with Education - not currently referenced
 
Toihuarewa 
  • Is being merged into Maori at Victoria
  • Need to confirm to what extent (if at all) they remain in scope
  • PS: Seems like a good move. When would this happen and who resources it?

 

General comments:

  • Lower general skill level across faculty and schools in relation to web
  • They may not be aware of the full extent of scope of the WIPII work - i.e. restructure of sites and re-write of content
  • Does a student know what a faculty or school is (or differences) and do they care?
  • What do business stakeholders think the purpose of the faculty and school sites are, and how do they differ?
