Culture+Context Design, except for

Computer Graphics information: Removed from the BDI, as agreed for 2017.

Link to Computer Graphics (external) site: Not covered/ignored. Site is somewhat out of date and (possibly) misleading. If the SoD is to keep it it should at least be kept current. Maybe we explore making artifacts from our framework available and they could 'refresh' this site, as per conversations with ECS.

We are not listing this as a subject. As a search term the result would include the degree.

If not,

  • This is a temporary measure and would need fixing once the first option is developed.

  • Check all six related AoS have the right state: Either subject level links (where the topic is not yet live) or 'Explore topic name' where the topic is already live.
