Hi everyone Open questions:
1) Should WE redesign its homepage and important landing pages? 2) Will improved information design of the WE main page and important landing pages improve retention? 3) Should WE form a working group to consider proposals for Website redesign? 4) If so -- do we have any volunteers who will put their hands up in thinking about redesigning the website? (Especially folk who have good experience in this area -- but everyone is most welcome to give a hand). A little background info Website referrals and direct traffic account for 26% of our total visits with search engine referrals making up the balance. On average visitors to WE view 3.62 pages per visit. What's interesting is that our home page makes up only 3% of our total page views -- suggesting that folk do find specific content pages in the wiki. Other top ranked pages, include, for instance: * The recent changes page http://www.wikieducator.org/Special:RecentChanges * The Content page which lists content projects http://www.wikieducator.org/Content * The India national page node http://www.wikieducator.org/India * The Iniatives page which lists projects in the wiki http://www.wikieducator.org/Initiatives * The Otago Polytechnic sales and marketing course page http://www.wikieducator.org/Sales_and_Marketing * The eXe online manual http://www.wikieducator.org/Online_manual * A lesson on Forms of Energy developed by the HOD of Technology Education, University of Education, Winneba in Ghana http://www.wikieducator.org/Lesson_1:_Forms_of_Energy_and_Energy_Transformations It's risky to postulate definitive conclusions based on these stats but I guess its reasonable to say: 1. Educators are interested in monitoring and observing changes in the wiki 2. Important landing pages include content listings, WE initiatives/projects and national project nodes 3. Individual content projects in WE do attract significant traffic. What does this mean for the information design of our site? --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "WikiEducator" group.
