New re-design for Student Record System
During the summer the University's central Student Record System has undergone a major re-design. The system uses a web based version of SITS known as eVision. The new design is scheduled to go live soon.
The Student Record System as it's currently known hasn't been re-designed since 2005, during which the internet has moved on greatly. As part of the new branding the system will become known as MyStudentRecord and will feature many significant improvements:
- Where possible the layout will be responsive. This means the user experience for students on mobile devices should be greatly improved and also for desktop users with widescreen monitors.
- Less reliance on table usage and a lot of old code removed
- A clear and simple layout and design will make using the system easier
- A separate University of Leicester style sheet. Making future upgrades simpler
- Where possible a consistent use of styling for all buttons, text and boxes
- Minimal design uses virtually no bitmap graphics so will be faster to use
- JQuery has been used to create tabs and accordions, making navigation more intuitive
