eLearning Programs Page Redesign
By Joshua Blount, Editor; Mark Tower, Multimedia Specialist; and Melissa Morrow, Assistant Director of eLearning Marketing
It's new, it's improved — and it will change the way students learn about online programs. Over the past year, eLearning Marketing was busy finding new ways to present our online program information that were simple and elegant yet informative. The final product has a more appealing design, tighter navigation and presents the content concisely and consistently.
Take a look at some of the changes that were made (and click the image to see a larger version.)
Programs Homepage
For the last few years, the eLearning programs homepage was just a (very long) list of all the online programs offered. Now that page has become a prospective online and distance student portal: not only are the programs presented in a more organized and aesthetically pleasing fashion, but there are also "hero stories" (eLearning student success stories) as well as FAQs, easy access to contact information, and plenty of resources for the student who is considering an online education with Texas Tech.
Programs Listed by Degree
Although the new list of online and distance degree programs essentially has the same content as the previous version, searching for programs will be easier than in the past. All program pages are now divided by degree level, rather than listed together on a single page. These pages also render much cleaner on a mobile device.
Individual Programs Page
Aside from having a sleek, new look and feel, the design for the individual program information page is much less cluttered with text, now presenting students with links to the resources they need. It is also clear which programs are offered at which regional site.
Because the contact form is readily available on every page for the prospective student to reach out to our enrollment coaches for further assistance, these pages can also be used as landing pages for social media, eblasts and other promotions.
In addition to the improvements on the front end of this section of our website, we also added refinements to our internal degree manager app that allow us to create and edit these pages in a streamlined fashion. Previously the pages contained static content that had to be updated manually with code. Now all programs are managed through a database using a simple user interface, making it easy to keep content up to date. It also helps us keep track of program compliance and approval.
