Feedbacks on the proposed mockup
- We can have landing pages for “examples”
- Open 101 on the Home page can be changed to “Getting Started” instead
- The template for the toolkit can be applied to “Get Started” as well
- Landing page can be icon +description, the secondary landing page can have the picture background like in the live open UBC site
- Having an Open textbook database on wiki, and inviting site visitors to contribute to the database (with criteria)
Prosed Open UBC Website Architecture Idea
- Goal of this activity was to sort out existing pages to the new architecture – and see if there are any gaps to it.
- In the end of the activity, we combined some pages, added resources from the UBC library and indicated gap in resources:
- Dark green = new pages that can be added to the new open UBC site Orange= Resources from the Library Black = Existing page on the Open UBC site
