Website+Contents


 * Website Content **

What kind of tools would be helpful to make the content easy to find and navigate, interactive and fun for the user?

 * Ideas for the website**
 * BETTER COLOUR PALATE PLEASE!!!
 * Video testimonies from students
 * Noticeboard for students to post to when looking for language buddies
 * Have an VUW-LLC twitter flash widget embedded with all relevant practical language links/events
 * Events page to include the LLC workshops and maybe other cultural events around Campus, this may be achieved like the events boxes on the main [|VUW site.]
 * Online catalogue to search for resources
 * Online room booking for the seminar room, equipment and resources
 * online booking for workshop participants with email reminer
 * Blog?
 * For the presentations of the external websites/ links it would be nice to have a preview screen to show what the external website looks like, similar to this snap shot tool as seen on this site, try any of the external links here to see.
 * Tatyana, believes that we need a page or dedicated area, that lists some useful language tools for all language students, such LINGRO, ZILN etc.

Comments

 * How do we compete amongst all the other online tools that students are required to use at VIC: the websites, myvictoria portal, blackboard. What point of difference are we able to offer on our website that would create students interest and make it necessary to visit the website on a regular basis?


 * Tatyana thinks that we should try to find a more direct medium to communicate with all language students at Vic, to create a virtual space for them to keep up to date with workshops, online learning tools and connect with other students like posting notices to search for language buddies. Is this too ambitious? It just seems that there are so many different way to post announcements/ news at VIC but we keep missing our real target audience.

Other websites worth a look to generate ideas and illustrate good examples:
