Documentation:Open UBC Website Sprint March 2019

From UBC Wiki

On March 1st 2019, we will be working on creating the "Getting Started" content for the new Open UBC site.

  • Time: March 1st 2PM-4PM
  • Location:Koerner 216


Example

Example of Getting Started Page. There's multimedia content (for ex:video, infographics etc) on the side, and there's a "tab" which embeds seperate wiki pages.

Format Tips

Multimedia content beside the tab

  • It can be a video,infographic, graphics, visual diagram.
  • UBC related content is preferred.
  • The multimedia content is related to the topic of the page.
  • The multimedia content does not require prerequisite in order to understand (i.e. anyone new to the topic will be able to understand what it is about)

What

  • Short overview on what is it about
  • Approximately 200-500 words.

How

  • How section should be comprehensive yet simple overview. Think of it as a poster section, bullet pointed and scan-able.
  • Approximately 200-500 words.
  • Links to Toolkits for longer "how-to"

In Practice

  • Examples of what Faculty,Staff,Students in UBC are doing in practice with a link to the "Examples" sections
