As we now have a set of wire frames and access to interact with them I am sure that we all have feedback. This raises the need of somewhere to capture them so that the decisions on which feedback to act on is not reliant on any one person speaking with Jo, but can be socialised (otr at leasat made transparent). The following links should help provide context and background:
- Wire frames in Hotgloo
- Topic page content strategy
- Topic page examples
- Subject groupings, relationships and mapping to programmes
I suggest that each person (who want to give feedback) adds their own (named) section, with their comments listed. This way we can read each others views and be informed for a discussion.
From Paul
- Wonder work, much improved on the first version, loved playing around (once I understood what were tool bugs and what was navigation cf functional cf informational)
- Minors: I think we have to deal with these better, especially where they are a "listed minor" (i.e. in the Calendar). In these cases there is a programme/degree we can link to, while (somewhere) explaining that you can not do a degree with only a minor.
- Pre-degree: As per the specific example in item 3 on the wish list, we not only need to redo these programme pages but also handle the subjects appropriately.
- Topics with two degrees: 10 topics (out of 50) have this pattern, with 9 of these where not all subjects on those topic pages map to each of the two degrees. The current interface is confusing for these situations so we need a better way to handle this. The 10 topics are:
- Economics topic has 3 subjects: 1 is PG only, 1 is studied in a BCom (minor only) and 1 is studied in a BCom and a BA
- Finance topic has 3 subjects: 1 is PG only, 1 is studied in a BCom and 1 is studied in a BCom and a BSc
- Education topic has 3 subjects: 1 is PG only, 1 is studied in a BA and 1 is studied in a BTeach and a BA
- Electronics and mechatronics topic has 2 subjects: 1 is studied in a Bsc and 1 is studied in a BE and a BE(Hons)
- Software and computer science topic has 2 subjects: 1 is studied in a Bsc and 1 is studied in a BE and a BE(Hons)
- Policy topic has 2 subjects: 1 is studied in a BA (minor only) and 1 is studied in a BCom and a BA
- Maths and statistics topic has 4 subjects: 1 is PG only, 1 is studied in a BSc, 1 is studied in a BSc and a BA, and 1 is studied in a BSc and a BCom
- Psychology topic has 5 subjects: 3 are PG only, 1 is studied in a BA and 1 is studied in a BSc and a BA
- Development studies topic has 1 subject studied in a BA and a BSc (while also being a minor in a BSc)
- Geography topic has 4 subjects: 2 are PG only, 1 is studied in a BSc and 1 is studied in a BSc and a BA
- Following point 4, I am concerned how, on a self-service model, we will guide people to select between two different programmes when their subject offers this choice. I think we need a "goodness of fit" on the programme page.
- Liked the way you have profiled a selection of courses, as students I interviewed wanted to know what they will be studying (specifically, even while shopping around). Without overloading them with course information this gives an insight/taster. Nice balance.
From Anne
It's looking really good - nice work Joe 
Content
I need to clean up some of the new text before it goes in front of the Reference Group and Faculty Managers. (Even tho it's only placeholder text, they will read it...) Can we catch up on Monday to do that? Or I could send something through, if you like.
Using logos - where relevant to the text, is a nice touch. However, we'd need to get permission to use.
About
- I'd prefer to have the content under 'Studying Architecture at Victoria' higher on the page (ie before 'Explore subjects and degrees') - just because that is the marketing pitch. If it's lower, they may follow links away (via 'Explore') and miss the marketing messages.
- Bottom contact block (headed: 'We're happy to help'). Wording needs some revision. Also, I'm not sure the bottom links are correct. The content strategy lists 'Study support' and 'Student life' as secondary links from the About page - I'd like to see them there, and some of the others don't need to be there. Link to 'Help centre' - I really like this idea, but doubt we'll be able to do it for go-live. Maybe add the idea to Storytime or Chrissi's Wishlist?
Subjects
- I don't think courses should be here - they are heavily featured in the programme page, and the content strategy doesn't mention having courses here. Happy to hear what others think, of course... If we did keep courses, we'd need to explain that they are papers via the ? icon (as it's terminology) - this icon is currently used for something else...
- 'Your Architecture' - as mentioned above, need to review this new text before the Reference Group meeting on Wed.
- Landscape Architecture - professional recognition block. I need to talk to Sam Motion (Unlicensed) about this - we currently have it on Careers, the programme page and perhaps here too.
- Content block at bottom - as per comment above.
Careers
- Looking good. (Have some content questions but will run thru them with Sam.)
- Content block at bottom - as per above.
People & stories
- Video example - if it's a story, let's give it a heading and one sentence intro (so they know what it is and whether to view it).
- Content block at bottom - as per above.
Afterthought about nav
Will we have tabs or just the links? Fine with that as long as it works for the audience. I had a bit of trouble getting back and forward, to where I'd been before.
