This page contains details of changes needed to support the go-live of the release of Areas of Study and Degree pages to production. The table below covers:

  • any changes to the existing navigation pages on Faculty, School and homesite pages
  • redirects need for the Faculy, School and homesite pages which are being retired
  • details of the content existing pages contained that is not (fully) covered on the new pages

Bachelor of Engineering with Honours

School site: http://www.victoria.ac.nz/ecs/study/undergraduate-study/be-hons 82925

  • De-link faculty, school and home site equivalents
  • Delete faculty and school pages
  • Redirect the old urls to the new degree page at http://www.victoria.ac.nz/explore/degrees/engineering/about  
  • Add a redirect link so that the new degree page appears in left-hand sidebar on both faculty and school sites.

 

Faculty contacts details: Replaced by VUW contact details

Welcome to Engineering: Section not in new pages although some of the information is covered anywhere. More like school/faculty home page content.

Actions in the previous row of this table will leave home site page as the sole copy of this content. It is not required to feed International, which draws only on the subject pages.

  • Archive home site page
  • If required, rename the url of the existing page.
  • Redirect the old degree urls to new degree page
Same content as faculty site above
 

Also listed on the UG overview page on the:

Faculty site: http://www.victoria.ac.nz/engineering/study/undergraduate 82901

School site: http://www.victoria.ac.nz/ecs/study/undergraduate-study 84269

  • Add a redirect link so that the new degree page appears in left-hand sidebar on both faculty and school sites.
  • On both faculty and school listing pages, redirect the link for the "Bachelor of Engineering with Honours" to the new degree page
  • Ask ECS to correct references to 'specialisations', when we have been so careful on the new pages to refer to the subjects as majors in the BE(Hons).
  • Assist ECS remap the subject links to the appropriate area of study links

Faculty and school pages are not the same.

Faculty page content is shorter than school's (only covers the BE(Hons)

School page more comprehensive and needs reworking and urls would need remapping to new degree (e.g. BE(Hons), BSc, GDipSc) pages.

  • Check that the BE(Hons) works correctly on the Faculty of Science undergraduate degree listing page, meaning both the left-hand sidebar and the main 'panel'
  • Check that the BE(Hons) works correctly on the Faculty of Engineering undergraduate degree listing page, meaning both the left-hand sidebar and the main 'panel'
  • Check that the BE(Hons) works correctly on the School of Engineering and Computer Science undergraduate degree listing page, meaning both the left-hand sidebar and the main 'panel'
  • Ask School to correct references to 'specialisations', as they are now majors. They might also want to revise the degree wording, basing it on what is now on the new degree page. Contact is probably Suzan Hall.

Note: Request help from faculty and/or school staff as required.

Explain to faculty and school that we are redirecting subject links to area of study pages. This works perfectly for single subject areas of study but imperfectly for others.

School name: Not a pattern we follow, as users were not interested.

Courses linking to outlines on school site: Will link to Course Finder result, so currently a partial outline but will improve as COO rolls-out.

Related subjects: Replaced by related topics (being the topics that contain the related subject). Will need to limit this to 6.

List of careers: Sometimes handled at topic level, sometimes at subject, with link to CareersNZ for further information.

List of courses: Not covered unless specific courses are mentioned in the requirements on the degree page.
