Step 1 Identify Your Topic: Career Services
Step 2 Review and analyze your institutions current remotely delivered student services covering your topic.
Currently, I think the website that we utilize is good, but I would like to see a different outline, it is linked from another site.
The components I would prefer would be
To list on the front page, a single point of entry, for all of the links and areas that I student could access, so that there would always be the option to return to home.
Also, the current links could tell a bit more about where that link is leading the student.
Include FAQs
Include Resources
Step 3 Identify critical components of your website.
Right now, we have a resource available to students, which, to me, is a one stage one and stage two site. I would like parts of it to have more exploratory, or maybe a place for a response from an online career counselor. Also, I would like it to feature alumni and maybe a place for a blog. In other words we need to incorporate more of Generation 3 and Generation 4.
Step 4 Here are the college websites I found that demonstrate good practices of critical components:
