Tasks
College Page
As a Ph.D student, the only reason for Ze to go to CAAH webpage is to find recourses that he needs. He wants to see the following information:
- Introduction of the college
- Structured list of departments and degree programs
- College news
- Information of the upcoming activities, for example, Art exhibition.
He goes to the "centers and facilities" page often, because he could find lists of services provided. However, he said he still preferred to search such information on the Clemson home page.
Department Page
Since his research area relates to social media, he thinks he may find some professors from the communication studies who are studying social network. So the Faculty information is very important for him. Since he's a Chinese student, he wants to improve his English, so he's mostly interested in what recourses could the department provide him. "Writing Center" under resources is his mostly clicked link. When he tries to find the link, he thinks the left navigation structure is a mess and not structured well.
Program Page
He seldom goes to the program webpage, but generally he thinks that a good webpage should have the following features:
- Proactively present your information
- Provide highlight information that you want the audience know
- Provide a convenient and consistent navigation structure
- Combine the visual elements and content together: add links to pictures, logos
- Add social media applications
