Discussion items

Item	Who	To discuss	Notes
Order of PG programmes	Jane/Paul	Do we need a consistent approach to the ordering of pg programmes	good idea to present it professional then smallest to largest with some nod to how related the qual is to the subject page it is on. However, if people have a good reason to have a different order then we can change it on a case by case basis.
Design of at a glance card	Nathan	Should these be long instead of square.	this has been done for the AOS pages but with few attributes Nathan feels current approach is too jumbled with the two columns of square boxes Nathan and Joe to discuss themselves
PG international 'How to apply'	Paul	How do we best handle the PG how to apply information for international students? What and how many systems should master it?
Apply button	Nick/writers	We've got the new standard PG qual Apply text See for e.g. http://stage.victoria.ac.nz/explore/postgraduate-programmes/master-of-international-trade/apply-contact Since apply is the key action we thought it should be a blue button. Should it and if so, who needs to do what?	Joe Lobotka (Unlicensed) to look at possible design solutions for the apply button 25 Oct 2016 it would be good long term to develop a system managing the dates and when students are able to apply.
Summary card insensitive to inter-subject differences	Paul	An example is "How can we accurately communicate that Information Systems in a BCom(Hons) has two intakes per year, whereas the other subjects have only one?" Adding new content to 'clarify/correct' the situation can be done 'cheaply' but contradicts existing information and might just confuse. Making the cards 'subject-sensitive' is expensive but provides the user with only the correct information for each subject in a qualification.	Andrew Bredenkamp to look into how difficult it will be to customise information on the 'at a glance card' 25 Oct 2016 on the card you will need to show what subject the information relates to otherwise people may think it relates to all subjects.
Non-major BA subjects	Paul	We need to list other subjects in the general UG degrees that aren't majors. Where can we best/easiest place them on the UG degree page? Use the BA as our example.	Paul Seiler (Unlicensed) to think further about the solution Tash suggested creating this content on homesite, it will then become something for the web team to maintain and possibly no-one will 'own' it. There is a danger they get out of date
Do we list graduate qualifications on PG subject pages?	Paul	Technically, they are UG level of study. Most schools/faculties list them as PG, some as both UG and PG. Many potential students think of themselves as PG students, so gravitate to PG programmes to look for their next study option.	Paul Seiler (Unlicensed) to look at what needs to be done to retrofit this to content already in progress. everyone agreed it is a good idea to list GradCerts and GradDips
External Google seems to override our HTML title	Nick	e.g. In this search for text only on the MFA(CP) page when you select film the title is "Film - Victoria University of Wellington" (If you click repeat the search with the omitted results included you see a range of titles, one for each parameter (Film, Design, Music, Theatre) and one for the URL/heading (Requirements) But the code of: http://www.victoria.ac.nz/explore/postgraduate-programmes/master-of-fine-arts-creative-practice/requirements?subject=film shows: <title ng-bind="MetaService.title">Master of Fine Arts (Creative Practice) \| Victoria University</title>	Joe Lobotka (Unlicensed) to look into why this might be happening 25 Oct 2016
Enhancements	Jane	Talk about anything new on the enhancements list Enhancement requests for study areas and UG degree pages Paul has been parking ideas (his and from other people) in two epics, one for improving AoS pages and the other for ug degrees.
Blockers	All	Team to raise any blockers not already covered
