Same content, same formatting even, just a different layout. Ironic, really, that one item was about the new, responsive website (something we encourage our students to build) - yet reading about it was one of the least responsive things I've seen for a while ...

We are looking at the online version and will hopefully have something better uploaded shortly. In the meantime, I have amended the post to add the link to pdf versions of Communicator, which you may find easier to read. Alida, paper copies were distributed on Tuesday so should be available in your building, but do let me know if you can't find them. Sarah Avison Alida, Kit, thank you for your comments.

When are the paepr copies being delivered around campus? I can’t read this on a computer screen as I can’t get the text large enough.

The online version of Communicator is almost unreadable online. This is because zooming in enough to be able to read the subtexts means most of a paper page is off-screen, so one has to continuously drag the page around to see top and bottom, also except on wide screen to see left and right. Just directly copying the paper version means the pages are too big - they need laying out again for screen. So - sorry - but in practice the online Communicator has failed in the staff survey feedback objective that C should be available online. I look forward to the online version of C 41 being screen-friendly. Regards -- -- Kit Lester Hi!
