Social participation through forums and blogs has been used for student recruitment in higher education. Existing social media sites or creating your own can help drive traffic and peer recommendations. Fears around negative comments, lack of control and the unknown are holding institutions back. To improve, institutions should assign responsibilities, build relationships through targeted content, embrace change and recognize social media's potential for recruitment.
The document outlines the tasks for a photo scavenger hunt held at the University of Greenwich from June 25-27, 2019 as part of the IWMW 2019 conference. Participants were instructed to find Prime Meridian markers, take photos with strangers in uniforms, get to know local dogs, pour drinks, carry large objects, hang from fences, mourn a dead parrot, multitask, and pretend to be king of the world.
1) The University's web estate has evolved organically leading to gaps in knowledge and risks from fragmentation.
2) There are over 1,497 websites using various platforms with over 1 million pages, but governance is limited and quality varies widely.
3) The strategy aims to establish central governance and standards while allowing flexibility, with a unified modern platform, engaged user communities, and data-driven decision making.
Static Site Generators - Developing Websites in Low-resource ConditionIWMW
Paul Walk discusses static site generators as an alternative to content management systems for publishing websites. Static site generators allow content to be authored in simple text files using formats like Markdown and compiled into static HTML and CSS that can be hosted on basic web servers. They provide benefits like minimal infrastructure needs, easy preservation of content, and increased security compared to systems that rely on databases. However, they may not be as user-friendly for content authoring. In general, static site generators are best suited for smaller, simpler websites that don't require advanced user access controls or dynamic functionality.
This document provides an agenda for the final day of the IWMW 2019 conference on June 27, 2019. The conference focused on strategic thinking and was held at the University of Greenwich in London.

Grassroots & Guerrillas: The Beginnings of a UX RevolutionIWMW
This document summarizes Kat Husbands' presentation on the beginnings of a UX revolution at the University of Glasgow. It describes how over time, UX has progressed from being unrecognized to becoming more embedded in the organization's culture and practices. It provides examples of projects where UX methods like surveys, testing, and workshops were used to redesign pages like the staff homepage and student printing pages. Feedback shows these projects improved users' experiences. The presentation urges others to start small with UX work, iterate based on testing, and communicate results to continue progressing UX maturity within their organizations.

How to Manage Reception Report in Odoo 17Celine George
A business may deal with both sales and purchases occasionally. They buy things from vendors and then sell them to their customers. Such dealings can be confusing at times. Because multiple clients may inquire about the same product at the same time, after purchasing those products, customers must be assigned to them. Odoo has a tool called Reception Report that can be used to complete this assignment. By enabling this, a reception report comes automatically after confirming a receipt, from which we can assign products to orders.

The ONS is the largest producer of national statistics in the UK but not the only one - a number of other Government
departments produce official statistics which brings its own user challenges - when you are called the Office for National
Statistics it might not be a totally unrealistic expectation to find all of them on the website...and with us being exempt from
GOV.UK it is a complex landscape.
Compared to more transactional GOV.UK websites our traffic is relatively small but it is not a trivial amount and we certainly have our share of influential 'loyal' visitors - everyone from the Bank of England to the Financial Times or even the Brexit campaigners are reliant on our statistics
Much to the despair of a number of our statisticians the annual list of most popular baby names is consistently the most viewed release year on year
..and we love a Game of Thrones related campaign about the list! Our design team were finalist in the international 'Information is Beautiful' awards for this years work.
The new ONS website launched on the 26th February 2016.
It looks like this. Pretty isn't she.
Getting to the new site though as a journey of almost 3 years and in many ways it started in May 2013 with an article by Tim Harford in the Financial Times.
Which reinforced the findings of the Parliamentary Administration Select Committee 'investigation' in to the communication of ONS statistics.

In 2014 we quietly started work on a new website and I'd like to take this opportunity to just talk a little bit about the vision and ambitions we set out with - and how those evolved over time.
In fact we boiled it down to the very essence of the vision - the website would support 'informing debate and improving decision making'..one of the many problems with the old ONS website was that it was actually really quite difficult to find the statistics. This is because the data is often buried in Excel spreadsheets or PDFs with complex, if accurate, titles and when they are surfaced in the HTML it is unstructured and inconsistent. This is because the organisation has never really moved beyond traditional print
publishing thinking – we are ON the web but we are not OF the web.
To do this our motto throughout the project was 'Data intense. Design simple.' The focus needed to be putting the data (the statistics) first and making sure that we removed distractions and let the numbers shine. This was a big part of the decision to avoid any stock photography or non-data driven graphics. The visual identity of the site is driven by charts and data visualisation - no decoration for the sake of decoration.
Even our stickers are data driven.
When we started thinking about what we could/should do we kept coming back to 2 initiatives from back in the naughties –
the short-lived Open BBC catalogue and the launch of the Guardian’s OpenAPI.
What these ideas had in common was making the underlying, structured data available in machine readable formats. It wasn’t about creating a separate API for users but rather that ‘the website is the API’ and that everything else builds up from that – including your own UI – it was the embodiment of that horrible saying – ‘eating your own dog food’.
This seemed the right fit for us – the needs of our users were changing and we needed to provide a more flexible platform to support them now and in the future.
JSON underpins the whole new ONS website and is available to all users simply by appending /data to any page.
This has allowed us to provide functionality throughout the site that is customisable by users, developers, data scientists and us.
Interactive charts and headline figures are auto-updated as soon as the data refreshes, we can provide feeds for all sorts of configurations of our data and users are already using the data feeds in applications of their own.
I'm sure many of you are familiar with the work of the Government Digital Service? How many of you are aware of the 10 Design Principles? <might be worth doing a show of hands>
I think these are the most important thing to have come out of GDS HQ in the five plus years since they were founded and it was one of the first things they did. There are two principles I think are particularly important. Making things open was important to our project for a number of reasons - working in the daylight meant we could engage with users / stakeholders at every step of the way and build trust, get help from a broad range of experts and receive constant feedback from users..
..because putting users first was at the very heart of this project. This change of approach - putting user rather than organisation needs front and centre and getting the organisations leadership to support that is the most important thing that happened.
So how did we approach this militantly user focused project? Here are a few things we did..
This is the ONS Digital Publishing Divisions FIRST principle
We spoke to 100s of individuals who represented dozens of organisations and everything we did, every decision we made,
was about making the ONS a better experience for them.
The extent of change we were proposing should not be underestimated - 300+ people contributed to research on a radically updated navigation structure.
The foundation of our user work was the research we did to create three new personas for ONS website users. We were inspired by the Guardian approach to these and avoided the more common format of naming and anthromorphising them.
We kept them high level aggregates based on skills, motivations and objectives. The 3 personas identified were 'inquiring citizen' - 'information forager' - 'expert analyst'. There is a continuum of familiarity with statistical concepts (and the ONS site) with time
spent on the site a major separating factor.
While the corporate website focused on 'foragers' and 'analysts' we did not want to ignore the needs of 'inquiring citizens' so we launched an experimental blog focused on data journalism, interactive visualisations and more accessible content formats. Visual.ONS has been a popular addition to our communication channels and one that has provided us with lots to think about for the future evolution of ONS publications.
From July 2015 the 'beta' version of the website was available publicly (at beta.ons.gov.uk) and the was maintained 24 hours behind the main site.
We attended the Royal Statistical Society annual conference, Government Statistical Service events and just set up camp in the cafe at the University of Southampton to get quick feedback on proposed changes.
initially we were hoping to put together some kind of 'advisory council' made up of critical friends but what it evolved in to was a pool of very expert, previously critical users who we were able to bounce ideas off and use to sense check everything from design choices to communication plans. They were also incredibly helpful in making sure we recruited good candidates for usability testing throughout.
In many ways ONS is a big survey house with a great many experts in survey methodology so as a Digital team we need to tread carefully when doing surveys! We do use them though - albeit sparingly. The bi-annual (thats twice in a year right?)
satisfaction survey gives us a solid baseline for comparison and the terminology survey was a real eye opener with 100s of contributors in just a couple of days providing some unexpected insights.
Much as we tried to meet people face to face sometimes you need to check things out quickly and with more eyeballs. The online tools out there are a mixed bag but we found Loop11 - software that allows you to run the same scenario on more than one site (i.e. find the last CPI figure or unemployment figure for women) - incredibly useful and Chalkmark is great for little experiments to just get a quick take on something.
The most time consuming and complicated to arrange is of course the most valuable in the long run. Getting to observe users struggling with your site for their day to day tasks in context is extremely powerful and worth the inevitable pain of trying to make it happen.
If you cannot do the full on ethnographic outing then diary studies are a useful additional to your research portfolio (and even if you can they are a useful addition.) It requires a commitment from the users though so target carefully.
Multivariate - or A/B - testing is the practice of experimenting with different versions of pages to see which ones get users to their goal quicker/easier. Facebook are doing it to you all the time! We did in a couple of places where the user research really didn't give us a clear answer and where our own intuition was failing.
So what did we learn running this project this way?
Just being open wasn't enough - despite all we did we didn't reach a wide enough audience of users. Open + utilising as many communications channels as possible seems to be a better model. Especially use some homepage real estate early and often on the site you are replacing.
That said being open from the start led to an amazing amount of support from our user community. We had so many people give up their time and all they got in return was the chance to improve the website.
Despite all the engagement we did, all the user research and all the openness some people remained unhappy. Unfortunately this seems impossible to avoid (see every change to every major website ever).
This quote from Martin Belam of the Guardian and formerly the BBC seems appropriate:
"Having gone through several big redesigns at the BBC, Guardian and the Mirror over the years I have a mental checklist of the feedback I'm expecting to get each time: "If it ain't broke don't fix it", "It looks like something Fisher-Price built", "Did you let the work experience kid design this".
"Very vocal criticism online often reflects a real hardcore minority view though.
Despite how much are users disliked the old website they had developed coping strategies and a big bang change disorientates them - even if they accept things have improved. If possible avoid big bang changes - running fully in parallel for a period as well would be helpful (but VERY hard to achieve)
In some ways launching is the easy part - you need a strategy 9and people) in place to support continuous improvement and everything you do well will only increase expectations.
Internal engagement and communications can get lost in the focus on users and while in the short term that can seem like an acceptable sacrifice it becomes a significant project-debt and one that you will need to pay back if the project is to be successful.
Well first HAVE a roadmap - don't get hung up on the details but you bound to end up with a list of features you never managed to get to or that have emerged from all the feedback. Capture and at least roughly prioritise all of that and get it published - point people at it. Take feedback. It is a statement and a communications asset.
not going to lie working this openly, this driven by users and this quickly? It is exhausting and anybody who tells you ‘agile' is the easy option has never worked in good agile team. The rewards are fantastic though and when it all comes together you
are left with something to be extremely proud of..
