The last two weeks seem to have passed by in a blur, here’s what we’ve been up to.
Go Mobile programme
All sites in the first phase are nearing completion.
Lisa has been working with the editor of the Open Day website to finalise content updates. Linda proofread the Open Day site – it’s looking good!
Emma C has been testing out a new content type for profiles on the Institute for Ageing site. And is making final preparations for the Schools and Colleges website to go live.
Lisa has proof read the Schools and Colleges website. Anne is proofreading the Research website.
Steve is working with the Digital Institute to create a new responsive website.
Planning for phase two of the Go Mobile programme is underway.
Design & Technical developments
The design and build of components is almost complete. We have added an image gallery and carousel function to allow us to display multiple logos on sites.
We are making last minute refinements and planning for the re-import of some content (such as news, events and staff) before the sites go live.
Training and support
We’ve hosted two Go Mobile drop-in sessions. Anne’s also run a couple of short Sitemanager sessions with editors from CEAM and Accommodation.
We’ve received 34 support requests through the NU Service Helpdesk and have resolved 23 of them.
Campaigns and web developments
Business as usual never stops.
We ran Clarity Grader reports on the Postgraduate site. This will help for the Postgraduate Team to improve the readability of their content.
There have been ongoing updates to the Clearing website as Clearing and Adjustment takes over the University!
We’re providing support to the Conference team to help improve the structure of their site.
Steve is working with the International Relations team on a new website to showcase the breadth of international connections and partnerships.
Emma B has produced a new site for Philosophical Studies as it moves from SAgE to the HaSS Faculty.
Our plans for the next few weeks
Lisa is writing a blog post about when to use expandable content.
Anne will be running another T4 CMS training session, as well as the monthly Contribute workshop.
We’ll begin tagging the undergraduate site for migration into the new content types in T4.
And the holidays continue.
