We’re excited to announce a series of significant updates to the UNE Symposium website, enhancing its role as a valuable resource that now houses content from five years of UNE symposia.
Key Enhancements:
1. A Fresh Look
We’ve given the Symposium website a modern, clean redesign. This fresh look helps users navigate the wealth of content more easily, providing a polished, professional interface for both first-time visitors and returning users.
2. Streamlined Navigation & Access to Previous Symposia
We’ve made it easier to access past symposia. The new navigation structure simplifies the process, giving you a seamless experience from year to year.
3. Academic Development Integration
In an effort to create stronger connections across UNE, we’ve pulled blog feeds from Academic Development directly into the Symposium website. This feature allows for greater cross-referencing between the areas, encouraging a richer exchange of ideas and insights.
4. Revamped Program & Previous Symposium Views
The most significant update is a completely redesigned program and previous symposium view. We’ve created a simplified, responsive design that allows you to access presentation synopses and watch recorded sessions — all from one page. This enhanced viewing experience ensures that symposium attendees and those catching up later can enjoy a smoother, more efficient way to engage with content.
5. Updated Single Presentation Pages
Individual presentations are now highlighted with an updated single-page view. This redesign puts the focus on the content, offering a better way to showcase the presentations that matter most.
6. Improved Search Functionality
We’ve made searching for specific presentations, speakers, or topics even easier with better search capabilities, ensuring users can find what they need in less time.
7. Mobile Optimisation
With more users accessing the Symposium site on mobile devices, we’ve optimised the website for mobile viewing. No matter what device you’re using, you’ll have a seamless, responsive experience.
8. Backend Updates for Long-Term Use
Our updates behind the scenes will ensure the Symposium website remains a valuable resource for years to come. These backend improvements will support growing traffic and future content without compromising on performance.
Continuing as a Leading Resource
With these updates, the Symposium website not only serves as a record of five years of UNE’s rich academic discourse but continues to evolve as a valuable tool for ongoing professional development.
