What are digital standards?
Our new digital standards present an overview of the criteria for creating and managing 成人VR视频 websites and online services. These standards are references and principles for best practices, mandatory and legal obligations, and industry standards regarding web production and other digital properties.
Why were they created?
Information about 成人VR视频's web standards was previously scattered across numerous websites and files. Combining these standards into a single resource has resulted in a number of improvements that include:
- Easier access to a comprehensive set of criteria for creating and managing 成人VR视频 websites and online services
- A shared mechanism for our unified web team (comprised of Communications and External Relations' Digital Communications team and IT Services' Web Services Group) to evaluate websites and determine support requirements
Our objective
Taking a cue from similar documents published by various governments and universities, we organized our digital standards in a compact list of overarching principles. Each standard includes a brief statement explaining its importance; a list of key criteria related to the standard; and links to supporting resources for further details.
Our process
Here's an overview of the process we followed to create our digital standards:
- Benchmarking analysis
We started by reviewing similar resources that had been developed by various governments and universities. This exercise helped us better define our goals and objectives and also helped us envision how our completed document could be structured. Sites we looked at for inspiration included the , the ,听补苍诲 .
听 - User research and initial draft
Based on our benchmarking and analysis, we drafted initial standards and recommendations. We then reviewed these with key units at 成人VR视频 to ensure that the standards are clear, actionable, and represent our values as an institution. Units consulted included:- Student support services including: Office for Students with Disabilities, Equity at 成人VR视频
- IT Services teams including: IT Communications (ITCOM), Web Service Group (WSG), IT Customer Services (ICS), Network and Communication Services (NCS),听Shared Platform & Development Services (SPDS), and IT Architecture, Project Management & Governance (APMG)
- Members of 成人VR视频's web management community

- Evaluation and testing - Digital standards (beta)
Using the input from our community consultations, we created a revised version of our digital standards. This launched in beta in September 2019, which allowed us to review and test the standards with additional audience members and stakeholders. Feedback provided was consolidated and analyzed and the site was updated accordingly.
听 - Launch
听 - Presentations and promotion to the 成人VR视频 community
Our digital standards officially launched in November 2019. We're currently promoting the standards and supporting resources to the 成人VR视频 community. We'll be spreading the word about the launch of our digital standards - and training people to apply them - in a variety of ways. This includes听community presentations, email and newsletter announcements, development of new content for our training programs, and more.
听 - Ongoing evaluation and refinement
In keeping with our digital standard to听Build, evaluate, revise, we're planning to re-evaluate and revise our standards - along with the tools that support our standards - on an ongoing basis.
