Audience research subgroup recommendations

  1. Develop and articulate a strategy for campus websites to ensure that they focus on site objectives and audience needs.
  2. Ensure that redesign projects are grounded in audience research and take into account both current and potential users.
  3. Coordinate and share various departmental strategies with web developers and content providers as the foundation for developing a Waterloo web strategy.
  4. Identify and prioritize target audiences for each website and share the information across campus.
  5. Coordinate and share approaches to ongoing user research on key audiences with others on campus that share the same audience. Lab testing would be the most valuable and important testing.
  6. Coordinate Google Analytics activities on campus in order to gain information about the Waterloo web site as a whole and how our users are navigating through it.
