Academic Staff Communications Committee
Monthly Meeting Minutes
2-3 pm, Wednesday, February
10, 2021
2020-21 ASCC members present: Felipe Gacharna, Kyle Henderson, Pamela O’Donnell, Robyn Perrin, Ashley Voss, Lori Wilson
- Review &
Approve December Minutes – approved.
- ASCC Annual Report update (Ashley) – Ashley wrote an update for the 2019-20
schoolyear and sent to the Secretary’s
office. It will be presented at a future ASA meeting, likely March.
- Communications Committee Project Check-in – The
Secretary’s Office has requested a check-in, so Ashley and Lori will meet
with Jake and Lesley to go over progress, including what the site
(acstaff.wiscweb.wisc.edu) looks like, the restructure of navigation and
new tools. Some of the improvements and things to discuss include:
§
Streamlining
menus and submenus to be more mobile friendly, overwhelm readers less and echo
other wisc.edu sites.
§
Addition
of clear call-to-action buttons
§
Adding
feeds, events and other features using WiscWeb tools.
Felipe mentioned the site is
not complete, is for idea-generating, not set in stone (or using all details
and ideas from the audit yet).
We may be able to incorporate
existing or new tools into our site, such as the policy library and/or API.
We will also send over the audit. If you have feedback, please feel free to add
it.
Ashley and Lori will touch base with the Secretary’s Office on:
§
What
documents need to be online (and in what
capacity) for open records laws.
§
Updating
the UI of the KB.
- Future Plans – Spring 2021
§
Lori
reported that although Tim with ASEC was interested in starting a newsletter
from ASEC, the project is not moving forward at this time. They remain eager to
help us with the newsletter when we are ready.
§
Felipe
mentioned that University Marketing is working on a way to send newsletters
using WordPress. We decided we’d like to invite Nick Weaver, the developer
behind this advancement, to our next meeting.
