The website features images from a recent photo shoot of Whitireia students, here on campus. It also has a gallery of student work and the latest in news and events at Whitireia. The ‘real’ voice of Whitireia students is echoed throughout the website with quotes from current students and graduates, student stories and will be used as a communication tool for students and staff to engage.
The creative vision behind the design has produced a contemporary website with the capacity to be more interactive and student focused. Students are able to browse courses by interest, faculty or career. It also has a number of interactive resources for students and numerous online library directories and databases.
The website was developed by Inov8 using Microsoft SharePoint Services as the internet engine. Inov8 are Accredited Microsoft Gold Partners and have developed a number of successful SharePoint developments for other Inov8 customers which Whitireia has been able to successfully leverage from.
The project was a collaborative exercise with Inov8 successfully leading and co-ordinating deliverables, while also providing analysis, development and testing. Lushai provided the website design and Knowledge Cue undertook technical QA.
“Whitireia took an exciting step into the future this week with the launch of their new website and easy to use enrolment facility,” said Steve Larsen.... “With the launch of the website Whitireia now have a strong marketing tool to enable it to successfully compete in the 21st century online world, something that students today expect from an institution charged with providing high quality education.”
The website will cater to both international and domestic students, providing online enrolment as an efficient way for any student to enrol.
