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 structurepages) 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 left on faculty/school pages
  • should be standard blocks
  • will be useful metadata
