Comments on: New designs for Communicator magazine http://www.port.ac.uk/uopnews/2012/11/23/new-designs-for-communicator-magazine/ News from the University of Portsmouth Tue, 14 May 2013 13:17:21 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.4.2 By: Emma http://www.port.ac.uk/uopnews/2012/11/23/new-designs-for-communicator-magazine/#comment-6635 Emma Mon, 26 Nov 2012 14:31:29 +0000 http://www.port.ac.uk/uopnews/?p=9047#comment-6635 In a related note (as I can't remember where I read it!) I saw that the communications survey asked people what their home page was ... given that it's increasingly difficult to switch away from staffessentials, perhaps the results were a little misleading ... perhaps a better question would have been to have asked what page people would prefer as a home page (and maybe 'why') - personally, I find that I move straight from the staffessentials page to moodle/the google login page (I'm on the Google Apps trial), depending on whether I think I want to check email / see what students are doing first. On the laptop, I have a set of tabs, which include these & others that I use regularly. In a related note (as I can’t remember where I read it!)

Given that it takes only a few mins to read its hardly a publication that needs to be durable and it usually ends up in a bin within 15 mins of reciept!
