Re: School Website Design is Part of the Student Engagement Problem

Eric Stoller — Sat, 08 Aug 2009 15:39:01 -0000

My students don't seem to have an issue with having to click through multiple links to get to content as long as the navigation is organized via structures that they are familiar with.

However, I do try to balance our site design so that it works for both familiar and unfamiliar users. A prospective student who does not know the vocabulary of our programs has different needs compared to a current student.

The biggest hurdle/trend that I see is that oftentimes we think we know what people want to see/read/digest/etc. and the web stats + anecdotal feedback can and will differ from our preconceived notions.

At first he's annoying and then it starts to get funny. I think my brain just melted.

Unlike "strollers," I can go up or down escalators... Stoller only has one "r" ;-)

No worries...a lifetime of being called "stroller" has made me a bit paranoid :-)

PS: I didn't know that you read my little blog btw...

Wow. 11! Thanks for going through the testing process and posting about it. I've been using Statcounter and Google Analytics for quite some time now on my personal site. I pay for a bit more log space for Statcounter. I like that it provides up to the minute info.

PS: heatmap analysis is such a great way to show people a visual representation of what users are actually clicking...love the crazy egg!

Yes, we need more gravatars...no one wants to look at only me and Kyle ;-)

I actually need to implement that on my own site. One more feature to add to the to-do list...

My twitter followers/following just went up quite a bit ;-)

Wish I could have been there, but it's been fun to stream some of the conference and connect via twitter.

This is an awesome post. Thanks for putting this up! It's been a while since I visited your site...the Erase Racism Carnival, and I am stoked that I decided to take a peek. Good stuff.
