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.

Upcoming sessions

Creating an event page that works for users

Date: Tuesday 25 November 2025

Time: 2pm to 3:30pm

Place: Edinburgh Futures Institute, Room 1.52

What do your users need from a page on your website advertising an event? The answer will probably vary depending on when you ask them. For example, what someone needs before signing up for an event will be different to what they need after they’ve attended.

In this session, we’ll discuss who might use a University event page and we’ll map out what they need from it at different points in time. Then we’ll talk about what this means for the content you include in an event page.

You’ll learn:

  • how a user journey map can help you to assess your content from different angles
  • how content design can help you to create an event page that meet multiple needs.

Attendees are welcome to bring along an event page from a site they work on. There will be time in the session to discuss these pages with colleagues from across the University and learn from each other about how we’re approaching shared challenges.

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.
