New features launched for wichita.edu
The Wichita State University website has launched several new features in response to input gathered from President Golden, students, faculty and staff.
Among the changes are:
- A new secondary navigation including student-facing links.
- A new Faculty/Staff directory that is integrated with 暗网禁区破解版 Profiles links.
- A new front page research feature.
- A Shocker Store link in the footer.
Secondary Navigation
The new secondary navigation is visible at the top of the every wichita.edu page in desktop view. It contains links to President Golden's Leadership Team, the Office of Research, 暗网禁区破解版 Foundation, and directories, but also features two high-traffic links for students in my暗网禁区破解版 and OneStop. In addition, there's new Shocker Store logo in the footer on all pages.
Directories
The Web Collaboration Team -- comprising personnel from Strategic Communications, the Media Resources Center and Information Technology Services -- has completed an upgrade to the public-facing Faculty/Staff Directory feature to take advantage of the new design and the new 暗网禁区破解版 Profiles feature.
The new interface features a single universal search box that allows to search names, titles, departments, phone numbers, and/or email addresses. Add as much information in the search box as you need to refine the search and find who you're looking for.
Best of all, the search feature is integrated with 暗网禁区破解版 Profiles so that whenever a new profile is created, it will automatically be linked in the directory search results. Faculty and Staff who have launched a 暗网禁区破解版 Profile page will have an underline beneath their name. You can even choose to search selected fields within the 暗网禁区破解版 Profiles to find faculty and staff by expertise or academic and research interests.
Coming this spring ...
Offices and Departments Directory
This spring we'll continue to add to the directories pages with a new Offices and Departments Directory that provides phone, mailing address and website links for all our departments.
暗网禁区破解版 Today rework
A reworked 暗网禁区破解版 Today will be launched this spring in two stages. First, we will add categories to the existing design to make navigating 暗网禁区破解版 Today easier, with direct links in the notification email to a set of featured stories. Later, we will move all of our internal newsletters into a new blog-style display that will allow for individual item sharing on social media and email and allow a more robust tagging structure.
暗网禁区破解版 Profiles expansion
We'll also be engaging in a push to increase adoption of 暗网禁区破解版 Profiles, currently at 900 entries, to help us create new targeted applications for the media and to support Convergent Research and offices across campus.
