Qualifications Can Cross Boundaries: A new version in a new website
07-August-2006
We have just made a new version of the interface for comparing qualifications in the UK and Ireland (Qualifications can cross boundaries - a rough guide to comparing qualifications in the UK and Ireland). This version has been stripped-down so that it is more suitable for linking to from other contexts (for instance from the qualifications organisations' sites).
We have bought a new internet domain to host the interface (qualifications-across-boundaries.org). At the moment, the UK and Ireland interface is the only real content in the new domain, but in the near future we may be developing new content in other areas of the new site (for instance, links or comparisons related to the EQF).
Changes of note in the new interface are:
- The 'banner' is now site-neutral and takes up much less space.
- The introductory text has been shortened ( with a link to show / hide further introductory text)
- The options for controlling the appearance and display are now, by default, hidden (click the light-switches icon at the top right of the interface to show/hide these
These changes mean that more of the "meat" of the interface is now visible without scrolling. We'll also be looking at ways of reducing the requirement for vertical scrolling when clicking for the information about particular qualifications and levels (check again later today for this improvement).
