Editor's Notes
- Students (What should they find? How can we facilitate them?)Staff.. Policies and processes Again, it’s a marketing mission to attract professionals - AND - When you’re looking for a job, you want to know everything#partners !!?#CAA !!?
- Usability is one of few very important quality attributes that should be taken into consideration when building a website Other attributes are more likely to be known by most of usLike, security, performance and maintainability
- As you can see here, the main menu is simple, guaranteeing the minimum navigation mistakes And this is “usability”
- Another good example, As you can see here, the main menu has more itemsYet, it’s not likely to get confused, Usability is also applied
- One more example here,You can see the simplicity in the shortcuts on the topAlso, look at the availability of the different kinds of calendars and deadlines
- Two things I want to emphasize hereThe website is blackThe main headline is about sports
- … security risk : mainly caused by the technology that we are using I don’t need to go deeper here.. I believe most of you know this
- Again, we’ll be talking about the cons of the current system … is hard to find : i came across many people who find it hard to navigate through our website .. I myself sometimes get lost … and the right! : and there is no indication of the nature of a logical groupingNews & Events : not utilized … and not interactive Inactive / Low Quality Forms : ##… Up-To-Date : for example.. Calendars,schedules, offered courses and trainings.. Jab Application Form: takes a lot of time to fill..
- Public discussion pages : or conversation walls … like facebookStudent council blog : where we can have a medium for interaction Success stories : from our graduated students … we track them Ask Subhi ………….. Which will lead to FAQFB and Tw: for marketing YT: private videos and public videos
- …mentioned previously : I believe the head of QM should be leading this team.…responsibilities and processes : what we should do, and how should it be done. …technology manpower : by adding one or two web content managers. And a dedicated graphics designer.
- SecurityStarting tomorrow and for two weeks, all of us will have access to the new website within the university
