March 2016 Project Update | Web Transformation Project

Through user testing and stakeholder sessions it was identified that:

Interactive maps will be used frequently by staff to find their way around campus.
Mobile optimised portal is a must.
When logged in, content must be personalised to the individual. Personalised quick links were the most compelling of all features presented.
Ability to secure access to sensitive information is vital for a successful staff portal.
A search function that spans multiple systems will provide most value, and the search must return meaningful and useful results.
Staff will continue using their current tools e.g. applications.
The staff directory must integrate all profile information and provide control over information availability based on access levels (e.g. staff view all, students view most, public views some).
Include feedback options in the footer, ensuring this function is appropriately managed.
Clear directions on how to update personal preferences are needed.
Consolidation or integration with other Macquarie University systems is key to the portals’ success.
