Tasks
College Page
Dr. Grim uses the College site as a portal to get to information about specific scholars, to navigate to a specific department, and to find navigation to the library (which she typically tries to find using the search tool). She is not likely to use the calendar nor social media tools unless the social media tool leads to specific scholars' information. She is not likely to stay on the page longer than the time it takes to navigate to the information that she is interested in.
Department and Program Pages
Dr. Grim uses the department and program pages to look for information about degree requirements and programs. She also uses these pages to find information about specific courses to better understand her student's educational background. In addition, she uses these pages to find information about 1) conferences the department or affiliated groups are offering, 2) noteworthy faculty accomplishments, 3) the head of the department, and 4) links to faculty member's general and contact information.
