Content Improvement Club

A regular meetup for anyone who publishes web content at the University to share good practice and learn about content design.

About this meetup

This is a monthly session run by the User Experience Service.

It's for anyone who publishes web content at the University. That includes publishing to:

  • University websites, whether they run on EdWeb or another platform
  • Internal websites such as SharePoint
  • Virtual Learning Environments such as Learn

We alternate between online and in-person sessions.

The aim of these meetups is to share good practice and learn about content design. When you sign up, we'll invite you to submit a page from your site that you'd like to work on with others in the session. You can still attend if you don't want to submit a page.

Five quick wins to improve your content in 2026

Date: Wednesday 25 February 2026

Time: 2pm to 3:30pm

Place: Edinburgh Futures Institute (in person only)

The new year is often a time to set good intentions for the year ahead. In this session, we will help you start the year on the right foot by covering five quick wins to improve your content. We will also provide a handy checklist for you to take away with you and share with colleagues after the session.

The session will focus on five quick wins. Using the checklist, we’ll look at:

  • making content easy to scan
  • checking how your content displays on different devices
  • improving links and buttons
  • using images effectively
  • keeping pages up to date

You will have a chance to work with other publishers, using the checklist to review pages you work on and gain feedback on your page.

This is an interactive session so we’re limiting this to a maximum of 20 people.

These sessions are delivered by the User Experience Service. They’re for anyone who publishes web content at the University, whether that’s on a departmental website or on an intranet site.
