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. Online sessions are not typically recorded.

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

Editing that works: nine techniques for improving content

Date: Wednesday 22 April 2026

Time: 2pm to 3:30pm

Place: Edinburgh Futures Institute, Room 1.52 (in person only)

In this session, we’ll practise using a nine-step editing process to improve web content. Starting with a page from a site that you work on, you’ll work with others to rewrite and reorganise the content to make it easier to understand and use. By the end of the session, you’ll have an improved page and a better understanding of how to write clear and effective content for digital platforms.
