askUCL User Journey Mapping
We interviewed students and asked them a number of questions about how they looked for information on askUCL and via the UCL website. We also asked them to feedback on their opinions on the design and layout of askUCL and tell us about their experience of using the system.
Our aim was to understand how students navigated to askUCL using their phones and laptops and how they used askUCL to find information. We recorded their digital journeys, any challenges they faced and their suggested improvements.
askUCL Feedback Workshops
Over 5 interactive workshops, groups of students gave us their feedback on the names of the categories FAQs can be found under, the layout of the FAQ search page and the groupings of FAQs (top-level categories and sub-level categories).
Our aim was to understand any challenges with the layout and terminology used in askUCL FAQs. We asked each workshop group to show us changes they would make and then brought the ideas together to plan how we could make those improvements.
