Team update: 29 August – 9 September

After holidays over the summer – the team is gradually getting back up to speed.

Go Mobile programme

The whole team was busy getting the latest five sites ready to go live on 2 September. Batch 4 saw the following sites go live:

We’re also doing some follow up work –  using Siteimprove and Clarity Grader to see how sites have improved.

Lisa’s been writing handover notes for the editor of the History, Classics and Archaeology site. She’s also reviewd the GURU audit and tagged up the site in the pre-migration template.

Emily’s been on annual leave for a week, and after that has been working on the pre-migration tagging for Biomedical Sciences. She’s also finished up the Modern Languages audit and benchmarking.

Andrew proofed the School of History, Classics and Archaeology site. He’s doing final checks on the Centre for Urban and Regional Development Studies ahead of its launch today.

Andrew’s also working on pre-migration of the School of Education, Communication and Language Sciences. He’s reworking the Travelling to Newcastle page in About.

Emma C has completed an audit of ten clinical research facility sites.
