Lessons learned from the Politics WebLearn migration

This presentation from July 2011 outlines the lessons learned during the Politics Department's WebLearn migration at Oxford University. With a user base of 400 graduate students, 80 academics, and 23 administrative staff members, the redesigned website aims to provide streamlined access to important resources such as reading lists and class booking systems. Highlights include successful collaboration with staff, positive user engagement, and ongoing challenges such as resistance from some academics. The project serves as a case study for future departmental migrations and highlights the importance of usability and design.
