A2: Working against the silo: practical ways to deliver engaging content

Session Tag:

#A2

Time:

Tuesday 26th July 2011 at 15:30 - 17:00

Facilitators:

Jon David, Eduserv and Jon Reay, Aqueduct.

Room:

Palmer 1.03 (First Floor)

Abstract:

Eduserv has recently delivered the DfE website, which has a new approach to content storage and delivery under the hood. This approach has many advantages technically and from an end-user perspective but also raises some interesting questions about the usability from an editors' point of view.

This session will examine the technology (Solr, CouchDB, Sitecore) and also the "softer" elements of usability, IA and design which affect many of the choices during a project like this.
