FoA Web Governance
Web Governance involves policies, processes, and procedures for managing and operating a website. To improve our Faculty of Arts web governance, we've introduced a new web presence proposal form. This allows staff to submit web project ideas for evaluation by the Web Governance team. The team assess proposals based on guidelines, policies, and legal requirements. Our goal is to enhance collaboration, creativity, and maintain a strong online presence, providing a seamless experience for faculty staff.
Rather than dictate or limit the ability to publish online, we aim to help inform best use of resources, understand preferred platforms and also to provide advice on resource needs that can be helped for grant budgeting. We also can support hosting and domain costs for appropriate projects which can help both ensure sustainability for ongoing provision beyond project closure as well as reduce the financial burden often associated with external hosting options.
Governance Meetings
The Arts Web Governance team holds regular and also as needed meetings to review web presence proposals. During these meetings, your Expression of Interest for a new web presence will be thoroughly considered. The agenda includes:
- Projects Review: Updates on existing projects, addressing support requests, and identifying upcoming projects for proactive planning and resource allocation.
- Monitoring/Revision of Web Governance Approach: Periodically reviewing and adjusting the Web Governance approach, including updating the support form or process and incorporating university-wide strategy input.
Following this structured agenda ensures effective communication, collaboration, and decision-making. It streamlines website project management and aligns with the Faculty of Arts' goals and strategies.
