These notes focus on the critical aspects, including improvement requests. Don't take it to mean that people weren't in favour. Of the three faculties spoken to, the voting is probably something like:
Those in favour
Education
Those against
-
Those in favour if with various modifications
VBS: Want to see the refined designs before deciding
FHSS: Opted to implement the changes, trusting us to make the changes.
Feedback from faculty consultation
UG-PG Switcher
- Just do it, as designed, and positioned.Many people have received complaints about difficulty in getting to PG information.
UG Subject area tiles
- Tiles look incomplete. Maybe try a shaded fill with different coloured font.
- Tiles have too much white space. Try moving arrow to top right, reducing padding, using smaller font for subject names
- Search would be nice
- Fewer study area pattern should retain the images, but do they have to be so high (it lengthens the page)?
UG Degrees
- After abbreviation, try displaying key attributes from UG degree header. See https://www.victoria.ac.nz/explore/degrees/arts/overview?international=true
- Discussion around the need to give context and/or conditions to attributes, and the tension with the available space.
PG Subject tiles
- Tiles might also look incomplete, but nobody said this because they don't currently have them. Maybe try a shaded fill with different coloured font.
- Best suggestion of additional information to display is the 'study level tags' as used in filters on the PG programmes listing page, but this wasn't a strong request
- Search would be nice
- Could probably implement once we agree the styling, even with no additional attributes.
PG Degrees
- Need tag for 'Doctorate' that captures PhD and other doctorate degrees. PhD isn't in app, but each faculty would have a suitable page to link to, such as https://www.victoria.ac.nz/fhss/study/postgraduate/phd
- Need to show 'nested quals' and ensure filters honour this structure.
- Preference to have them as 'long strips', like the UG degrees, even though there are more of them. Consistency cf larger number if 'All' is selected?
- Supplementary information could be abbreviation, duration, location, type and next starting. Later on we might have filter tags for type.
