The UWP are proud to share that we have won another award, bronze sustainability, and also that the University has a new unit – the Department for Social Responsibility and Sustainability.

The University of Edinburgh is a huge institution with a big beast of a website, so as the newest recruit to the University Website Programme team – Editorial Development Officer – I’m still finding my feet in week three.

Rachel Bhandari has recently joined our team. In her role as Editorial Officer she’ll be supporting our work with the Global Academies and the Student Experience Project as well as contributing to our training, support and communication activities.

The aim of this book is to equip anyone working with web content for the challenges of the multi-device, mashable, social media-curated online world.

What do you do with 300 user stories instead of a huge business requirements document? How do you put them into some sort of order? Where do you start?

Prototyping is a technique for cheaply creating relatable representations (or ‘mockups’) of your ideas to reduce misinterpretation, encourage development, and enable effective user testing.

This months’ Web Publishing Community saw a comprehensive update on the Drupal project, a live demo of the Balsamiq prototyping tool, and a presentation from Arthur Wilson on different ways to embed PURE data in Drupal.

The University Website Programme has put together a small collection of content to help promote the National Student Survey before it closes on 30 April.

Prototyping training is something I’ve been keen on getting off the ground for a long while now. With the help of ux consultant Marianne O’Loughlin, we ran a pilot of a new training course this week.

We piloted a new training session this week on personas. UX consultant Marianne O’Loughlin delivered the session for us, having worked with me over the past couple of months to pull the session together.
