May 2012 Meeting
Content for university mobile sites
I mentioned in our last meeting that there is some great research out there about what content needs to be on university mobile websites and what content isn’t really needed. Here are a few helpful links that I’ve come across:
2012 State of the Mobile Web in Higher Ed Survey Report
Higher Ed Mobile Solutions: Hitting or Missing the Admissions Target
Rethinking Mobile in Higher Ed: An Argument for an Admissions First Approach
The gist of all of these reports is that we need to include more admissions-related content and really focus on prospective students. Hm…where have we heard that before?

Agenda
Stamats’ Webinar “Understanding Website Usage: Stamats’ Higher Education Google Analytics Custom Report Pack”
Google Analytics is a powerful tool, offering you compelling insights into your institution’s website traffic and marketing effectiveness—that is if you know how to use it.
Slideshow Tool
Due to issues with Internet Explorer 9, we have replaced the slideshow tool used on the UMKC home page. If you have used that tool on your site and need to update it or if you are looking for a new slideshow tool, I have put together some files to help you get started.
