Overview of the Strategy for Cengage Online CommunityMichael Britt
A presentation I gave to Cengage Marketers explaining the role of the Higher Ed Faculty Community in driving adoptions and continued use of our online learning software.
A proposed redesign of the radical reference website. The presentation lays out the research and testing process that went into the redesign. It argues that a new website would have to be trustworthy, informative, collaborative, and intuitive. It presents our design and how it achieves these goals.

Website Strategy and Content for Medical GroupsGeonetric
As healthcare organizations develop or expand joint ventures with medical groups and independent physicians, representing that collaboration on the Web requires thoughtful strategy. It’s a challenge, but when you’re successful, the result is a Web presence that connects with your visitors and provides a deep understanding of the breadth and value of your services.
Learn how Cone Health Medical Group in Greensboro, North Carolina worked with Geonetric to effectively communicate its system brand online while considering individual physician practice identity. Through this in-depth case-study presentation, you’ll learn the secrets behind our multifaceted strategic process that led to a cohesive and intuitive Web presence for this medical group.
6 essential things for businesses to know about content designLizzieBruce
Understand how content design affects your business. From Cake Content Consultancy. Based on a presentation for University of Cambridge. Original content compiled in collaboration with the UIS content design team.
Slide contents:
1. Each piece of content is part of a wider action. The journey to complete a task or find information online could start on Google, and end on a competitor’s website. Make sure the part where people interact with your site is straightforward and useful. Ask: Where has the visitor come from? What are they trying to do? What are they going to do next? This helps you: focus content on what they need now, minimise duplication of what they already know, and recognise related content and improve the information architecture (IA).
2. Content design achieves business goals by meeting “user needs”.
By serving site visitor needs, for example providing clear information on ABC, we can increase interest in XYZ. Needs are researched and content is based around those, rather than approaching topics from a siloed perspective. Designing with a user first approach is the best way to meet business needs. It’s in everyone’s best interest.
3. Content design is based on data and evidence for what users need.
Content designers don’t guess or assume what users want and where they are coming from, they research it. Content designers use: analytics data, user interviews, user behaviour studies, usability and readability research. For example, they research user language by looking at search data, rather than picking words they think are suitable.
4. Content standards improve findability, clarity, consistency and usability.
To produce high quality, trustworthy information, content principles and standards are necessary. Following them needs to be non-negotiable. BBC, The Economist, GOV.UK all hold their content up to such checks, as do your competitors. Usability reviews should cover accessibility and inclusivity. Content standards make information easier to find and absorb in a limited timeframe. A good start is to choose clear, simple language. Respected research shows even experts prefer plain language, refer to The Public Speaks: An Empirical Study of Legal Communication by Christopher R. Trudeau. A smooth, consistent flow through your site builds trust with your users, and helps your reputation. The opposite damages it.
5. Content design is a continuous approach, it goes beyond page layout and wording.
Its methodologies and practices: help you create, organise and maintain less, more effective content, enable a consistent user experience, promote relevancy and accuracy, improve content workflow and governance, ensure content is in line with strategy.
6. Content design is a professional skillset.
Designing content for a user purpose involves: research, data analytics, user-focused, informational content writing skills accessibility, usability and readability knowledge and information architecture.

Sustaining an ict project for social change.pptxGladysCandido1
This module was designed and written with you in mind. It is here to help you
master the Development of ICT Project for Social Change. The scope of this module
permits it to be used in many different learning situations. The language used
recognizes the diverse vocabulary level of students. The lessons are arranged to
follow the standard sequence of the course. But the order in which you read them
can be changed to correspond with the textbook you are now using.
The module has one lesson, namely:
Lesson 1 – Development of ICT Project for Social Change
After going through this module, you are expected to:
1. identify a local or regional cause or issue for social change related to specific
professional tracks that can be addressed or tackled using an ICT project for
social change;
2. analyze how target or intended users and audiences are expected to respond
to the proposed ICT Project for Social Change on the basis of content, value,
and user experience;
3. integrate rich multimedia content in design and development to best
enhance the user experience and deliver content of an ICT Project for Social
Change; and
4. develop a working pro
From the previous module, the effectiveness of ICT played a major role in the
success of events and movements of different groups to participate in different
advocacies. Through social media and ICT, everyone is instantly involved in issues
and social events that can greatly affect society and governance.
The previous module discussed the participation of people because of information
dissemination through different technological facilities. The key factors for the
effectiveness and efficiency of these ICT facilities are the features that are carefully
planned to proficiently fit in the application.
To achieve the said harmony among the components, a method was devised in
systematically creating applications. The creation of ICT content and applications is
divided into categories in different phases of the creation phase. To ensure
systematic and fast development of ICT content, the essential steps in creating ICT
content, as well as the sequence and chronological arrangement of content, are
presented in this module.
With your newfound knowledge and skills—together with the emergence of a wide
variety of technologies, you can certainly create an ICT project that focuses on
social change should you choose to. Creating one is really a challenging part and
involves diverse procedures to come up with a purposeful project.
ICT Project Creation Process
An ICT Project for Social Change is only a small part of a scheme of an organization
with a common interest. The main purpose of an ICT project in the bigger picture is
to offer a facility for easy dissemination of information, a platform for volunteers
and the leaders of the organization. Establishing the ICT project is a collaborative
effort. It is not only for technical members involved, but also for the management
and leaders of the organization that will facilitate th
About the Webinar
The increased utilization of mobile devices for content consumption places demands on publishers to be more adept at engaging on mobile devices. As the device market has changed, size, capability, and usability of the devices continue to evolve rapidly. The capability of the web sites needs to keep pace with the changing market both in terms of rendering content on devices and managing the access to the content.
One of the first waves of design called for using custom Apps for mobile devices. Many of the early adopters learned quickly that App maintenance consumed more resources that anyone had predicted.
Access management is another consideration for the mobile experience. Simply put, publishers want be sure that users are authorized to have access to content. In the academic environment, the task is particularly troublesome because students are transient and very mobile. Rather than setting up onerous, session based manual login processes, content providers, usually enabled by hosting companies, have developed techniques to “pair” devices with authentication systems to ensure that access is available when requested, but not extended past a designated time frame. Management of this capability should be transparent intermediaries, such as librarians, but available for management should the need arise.
In this NISO Webinar, speakers will discuss multiple form factors including responsive web design and responsive design with server side components, that help institutions deliver a great experience to their users.

Editor's Notes
Content Cleanup
We had to clean up the content before we could focus on the digital presentation and interaction.
Re-architecting the entire site meant we touched every single piece of content in our CMS. We couldn’t just migrate pages without reviewing them. This helped us identify opportunities for content cleanup – consolidating pages and creating modular, reusable content.
Lack of navigational structure = very confusing user experience
Wait, where am I?! How did I get to this page? How do I get out?
Orphaned pages – not linked from anywhere on the site.
Governance – why are we writing this? What is the need and to what audience? How will this fit into NCI’s content ecosystem?
Need to continue to work on this, now informed by SEO insights.

-In streamlining the content & cleaning up the navigational structure, this is where we ended up…
-Big challenge is cancer.gov has various audiences/users, all with different needs and approaches to finding content—from advocates to researchers to oncologists to patients & caregivers with low literacy levels—in both English and Spanish.
-With usability testing, we worked with NCI colleagues and another contractor who always started users on site. We gained a lot of insights to inform our user driven navigation organization, but knowing what we do about SEO now, is this approach a “real world” simulation?

So that was the content cleanup & content organization side of creating a more coherent user experience for cancer.gov.
Now we focus on how to present the content in a way that continues to focus on providing a better, more intuitive, coherent user experience.
Structured Content Model – drives functionalitiy
Helps optimize display for mobile and tablet
Enables accordions
Hide certain content, images on mobile
Make the content and presentation more engaging with images & infographics
Adapting a digital first approach where we think about content very differently – it’s not just the words on the page but the visuals, the infographics or videos that tell a more memorable story.
Infographic content type – renders as its own page (good for syndication)
Rethinking our we disseminate content – we create content (ex: blog post), but we in a digital-first world, we must think how we can leverage social media to amplify our message.
Infographics
A visual image used to represent information or data; intended to present information quickly and clearly.
In just over 2 years (2010-2012), the search volume for the term “infographic” on Google increased over 800%
