In the space of a week we worked collaboratively to design and test a prototype degree search and filter function with students. In this post I summarise our findings for colleagues who couldn’t attend our research playback session.

We are committed to an inclusive, collaborative approach to the development of a degree finder replacement. Find out how you can support us and get involved.

Join us on Wednesday 24 March at 10am to watch prospective postgraduates try out potential new features for a future degree finder search.

By breaking your content into short sentences, separating by subheadings and using bulleted lists, you can help users more easily understand your content.

The undergraduate degree finder content refresh activity is now reaching the end of the initial phase of update by colleagues in schools. In this post I summarise some of the questions we’ve fielded more regularly around use of GatherContent.

Just a quick follow-up to highlight an important step in the GatherContent process and to introduce a new and useful feature.

Following on from our recent training session on GatherContent for everyone involved in the update of the Undergraduate Degree Finder,  we’ve now updated our guidance wiki and distributed logins to everyone involved.
