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 (or at least made transparent). The following links should help provide context and background:
Summary of feedback for team discussion — TO BE COMPLETED LATER —
Individual's feedback (direct or via meetings)
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
General
- I like much of it and see that, for UG degrees and domestic students, this will work well.
About programme
- Bring action bar to front (on all tabs), so content scrolls up behind it, not in front.
- Breadcrumbs: Are we going to use UG degrees or UG programmes?
- Would image behind BAS be the same as for a topic (if it was in fact the same thing)? Is this type of familiarity good? Could certainly work for "subject-major" pairs. If you want?
- Missing the floating navigation bar from the bottom of the screen
- Intro/About: Maybe try not to state all the majors in the first sentence, as they listed in a "table" soon after in the Degree overview
- Where is the Programme options section/content? Seems to be missing
- Degree overview: Could the video block be swapped out and a profile/testimony/story come in? They already exist in pour publications so could be re-purposed?
- International disclaimer: I like the concept but the wording will need work (probably no 3 year UG degree that is not suitable for international students, suggesting another programme could be challenging (on what basis/data?), etc. I have a specific section below for international feedback, and we will of course speak to Charles.
- Show domestic fee or, if international is set, international, not both.
- Tell me how the next related events block works (and note that I think this is a valuable feature)? Date sensitive? Location sensitive? Related to the level of degree I am viewing?
- Could we also have one on the topic/subject page?
- Similar programmes: A good idea (and might be how we can suggest something else similar) but do we need a content/data source for this? Is it only at degree level? Faculties might baulk at giving another programme if outside of their faculty, so we need to proceed with care here. Probably more sensible at the PG level, where there are far more options and some/many "nest" with each other.
- Great to know: Content needs improvement, but block is useful.
- What you will study: Why are there two titles the same? I have changed the second to "Further study". The content for the first one seems a bit lame.
- Need more information: Maybe swap out Student allowances (and use it for a how to fund your study section on the fees and scholarships tab) and replace it with a link to the Faculty (as they "mange" the degree)
Planning programme
- Introduction might seem to similar to what should be on the apply tab
- How will we denote default major (based on subject value)?
- Second major is extremely rare in BAS so maybe leave it unset for this example
- Should the whole select major block be a little further down the page?
- Not quite sure where the Major #1, Major #2 and Other major anchor links would take me? Shouldn't the block have major rules (see point 7 below)
- Is it a little over-stated to have uni admission stated so clearly on this tab? Would it be better handled on the Apply tab?
- I like the concept of each rule having its own block. However, where have you presented the courses required for a major? For example, Landscape Architecture requires LAND 211, 212, 221, 222, 251, 261, 311, 312 and 321, as well as SARC 351, 352 and 362.
- Might have to use wording that more closely follows the statute, as in the publications. I think we will be forced to, so maybe lets at least start off with something closer/more accurate.
- Mention of continuing under the BBSc is too strong.
- What is an optional requirement? An oxymoron? Try "additional requirements" or "more information" if they are not actually requirements.
- Do we intend the text under the major section to be the same as under the subject (on the topic page)? Always?
- Do we have to mention replacement courses? Exceptions?
- Rule block for hurdle to enter second year: Is there other information we should link to or provide?
- Lets not use schedule, as it means something in the calendar. Maybe Degree example, as in the GUS
- Explain to me the reason for the General courses / Example courses switch.
- I would prefer it if core, specialisation and elective were visibly different due to style, not use of the words. Lets make it more like the GUS, unless we can do better and then ask them to change to be like the web
- Please try to balance the trimesters out a little better.
- In major areas do we want to link them back to Careers on the subject section of the topic page?
- Should the additional requirement in the major section be different to the requirements in the degree section?
- Challenge of two majors: While I appreciate how hard it is to present information for two majors on a small screen it is probably nonsensical to show degree planning examples sequentially, when the majors are studied concurrently.
- About undergraduate degrees might also be a valuable link for the "Need more information? block at the bottom of the page.
Fees programme
- Where is all the fees information? I expected a breakdown or some more information about the summary fact. Easier for international, as they have a whole budgeting block/module. For domestic, can we surface any of this information.
- Can we carry a subject/major value through to the scholarship database so they can display a pre filtered list of matching scholarships based on the subject value?
- Enrol now and contact advisors buttons seem a little prominent for this page?
Apply programme
- I like the early intercept and divert for international students. They do not belong here so lets clear this up early on.
International programme requirements
- Switch to swap/change between international and domestic (so that whatever version a user has he/she can change this if they want to see the other version
- Different contact block (Jo, if you think the domestic block need one international mention, then do the same in the international one but still have switching blocks
- Different application process, so any mention (on earlier tabs) and the whole Apply tab will need to pull different content for international
- International have a database/content source for country specific entry criteria. How can we access and surface this? Do we want /need to?
- Show only international fees in the summary/icon, with a whole different fees tab for international. Might be able to do it all in our app, but might have to link out to VI for the richer information they are required (by law) to provide.
- A disclaimer will be required for some programmes (or major choices), with one or more or a small number of pre-defined reasons. Need to unpack this further and write a user story to describe it.
