Study pages
In our last sprint notes we mentioned that our whole team would spend a day working together on the country-specific pages on the main Study site. We did this as a focus day, with the whole team working in the same room, without meetings, phone calls or emails!
It was a great experience to work with the whole team concentrating on one task. It was also good to get a chance to share our progress with the International team about halfway through the day. While we didn't get everything done, we've made good progress on this area, and have since demonstrated more work to the International team. We also learnt a thing or so about setting realistic goals!
We've also been working with Student Recruitment and Admissions on factual changes and updates to the Study site as the recruitment cycle has moved on for both prospective UG and PG students.

Open days and social media
The September open days happened during sprint 28. Many of us were involved in meeting and greeting students and their parents throughout the day as well as ensuring our digital presentations were updated and ready to wow.
On the social media front we managed tweets throughout the day, not only to explain what events were happening but also responding to questions and observations sent via Twitter. We wrapped up with a photo album for Facebook and created a summary of social media updates during the days.
We've also started the process of communicating with arriving students via social media, and will continue this through arrivals weekend in sprint 29.

Updates to interactive maps
We've updated our interactive maps ready for the new year: especially important for new students in Constantine College!
Reminders about other updates
We're just about ready to send our second email update. Join our web-cms-users email list if you'd like to receive these monthly updates.
We've also made some changes to our Show and Tell schedule so take a look at our new dates and get them in your diary. These sessions give us an opportunity to show you what we've been doing, and give you an opportunity to ask questions about the work afterwards.
