How UNH approached the process • What features are we going to use? • What are the key functions of those features we need to discuss? • Who’s our main audience? • Advisors Vs Faculty Vs Students Vs Support Staff (admins) • Anticipating common questions • Pilot Group • Training of Peers • Support tickets • How do we want users to use the system? • Configuration lends itself well to this aspect Documentation
Student Notes Vs Appointment Summaries • Appointment Summaries Vs Report • Appointments Vs Drop-ins • Campaigns FAQ • Reasons why a student can’t make an appointment Documentation
Try to minimize screen shots • Video &Documentation • Consistency – articles structure, naming convention, links at the bottom for help and training • https://www.unh.edu/it/kb/category/learning-tools-services/mywildcat-success/106/ Documentation
An area UNH is still working on • Best Practices • Helps drive repetition and familiarity • FERPA & HIPPA Governance
Initially focused on specific departments & advising centers • In some cases trained a department admin • managed faculty advisors availability and student communication, check students in • We provided instructions that stepped students through the process of scheduling an appointment Training
Basic Sessions: • Availability • Appointment Summaries/Notes • Sync with Outlook (external) Calendars • Understanding student profiles • Advanced Sessions: • Campaigns • Appointment Center & Kiosk Training
Currently in the process of revamping training to be more hands on • Marketing application using Testimonials • Needs analysis • Still confusion regarding Notes Vs Appointment Summaries • Users don’t realize they can search for students not assigned to them • Appointments Vs Drop-ins Training (future)
