This past week, the Web Makeover Requirements Group ran five focus groups (with a mix of students, faculty, and staff in each one) and a few other focus groups for specific stakeholders around the College.

If you attended one of our sessions, thank you for time and valuable insight.

Our focus groups had a number of topics including:

• Customization: What type of customization of a personal web portal might you want to do?
• Navigation: What makes navigation easy and inviting? How do you find what you’re looking for?
• Comparisons: What other higher education websites do you like?
• Homepage: What goes on the homepage? What should the homepage look like?
• Tools: RSS, social media, events scheduling and calendars.

We will be holding more focus groups in the spring, if you’re interested, sign-up to be notified. If you’re already on our list, you’ll automatically be notified.
