M&S Study Site Initiatives to increase footfall Embedded links into appropriate areas of the SS into MILLS messages Study Site outline on back of OU module contents checklist SS postcards Reinforcement by SST individual contact CAMEL in June (2020) to all students completing 19J highlighting SS CAMEL in Aug (2020) to everyone registered on UG M&S module for 20J pointing to DYM sub-pages Tweets, Student Hub Live etc OpenInterval 15
Recommendations The structure of the site should be improved, in particular students find fixed headings unhelpful A site map and/or A-Z should be added Ability to edit the front page with links to help navigation around the site Student routing to the site needs to be more obvious Analytics needs to be improved Briefing and training needs to take place for all SRF staff AL induction, staff development and CDSA need to include information about Study Site Any School currently populating their site should involve SST staff in the development. 16
Conclusion! The Study Site is an amazing resource with a great deal of information about M&S modules, and qualifications, collected together in one place. It does much better than many OU websites in having everything (for M&S students) all together in one place, without having to scroll through reams of generic information first. I just wish it was more obvious, need it to stop being a hidden gem! 17
