At this month’s session we got our first glimpse of how forms will look in EdWeb as well as hearing about the developments for viewing EdWeb on small screen devices and website search enhancements.

During March we undertook some user research with University staff and students to look at how they interact with the new website design on small screen mobile devices. I presented our findings and what we’re going to do with them at last week’s Web Publishing Community session.

We’ve had web editors at clinics this week making preparations for their site’s migration to EdWeb, with a particular focus on Overview pages and Summary sentences.

We’ll be introducing a few refinements to the new website design on the smallest screen sizes in the near future. This week we’ve been parallel testing three versions with staff and students around the campus.

This month, Bruce, Neil, Stratos and Duncan demoed EdWeb and delivered a project update to a full house of website editors.

I am thrilled to say that we have reached a magnificent milestone; we have delivered all 15 sites planned for this stage of the migration process from Polopoly to EdWeb. All 15 sites are working well and site owners seem happy with the new tool and since we know the new tool is only going […]

Two small migration phases are now complete but we still have a long way to go. Experience gained, alongside a feedback session and an in-depth review of the process, has allowed the migration to […]
