Comparative study between MyAUP, MyWU, MyUW and

Introduction
- Why a comparative study
- To get a good idea of the different existing
products on the market. so we can get inspired by
good ideas without reproducing the same mistakes.
- Method
- To make this comparative study, I looked at the
content of each website, how was the information
organized and how accessible it was. - I also tried to understand these university
websites according to the size of their campus,
the importance of the city and the diversity of
the programs offered.

University of San Francisco

university of the US

General comments on MyUSF
- I could not access to myUSF but only to a demo.
- The website is very well organized which makes
the information very easy to access. - MyUSF is divided in only 6 rubrics Students,
Admission, Services, Community, Calendar and
Personal Information. - -The rubric Admission and Community might be
confusing (why would a student would be
interested in its admission since he is already
in the university).
8
- Design
- The design is pretty much the same everywhere.
However, each rubric has its proper colors, which
help to quickly memorize the way the information
is organized. - Information
- -The user is not overwhelmed by too much
information. - -An information belonging to one rubric is never
repeated in another rubric - Conclusion
- There are no particular problem, no superfluous
information but no particular inventive tool
either. Everything is made perfectly clear and
simple - Compared to MyUW and MyWU, MyUSF is a small
website which is supposed to complete the general
USF website. Compared to MyAUP its better
organized and easier to access. However this kind
of website will no fit to a big university like
the Washington University or the University of
Wisconsin-Madison.

University of Wisconsin-Madison
- Presentation of the University of
Wisconsin-Madison - -The university counts 42000 students and is
located in Madison, a 500,000-inhabitant city. - - The UW was ranked 17th among world universities
and 15th among universities in America.

General comments on MyUW
- Design
- The design is the same all long the website and
the colors are the same from a rubric to another.
However the possibility to edit its own space
seems particularly interesting. - Information
- -The content of the website is more important
than the content of MyUSF, more services and
information are offered which is a consequence to
the important difference in term of students
number in the two universities. - -Pages are not overloaded
17
- Weaknesses
- -Some information like the weather might seem
useless. - Strength
- MyUW proposes some great tools
- 1) My webspace
- This gives you how much space is left on your
hard drive - 2) Customize your page
- Possibility to customize your pages depending on
your personal needs - 3) Live chat
- There are chats everywhere, on every social
network and even on mailboxes but still, its
always nice to have one. - 4) Lost and found
- Critics
- Except that there is no point to have a rubric
myPage and a rubric home since the both display
more or less the same information, the rest of
the website is really good. The design is sober
but efficient and the possibility to edit its own
pages is really interesting.
18
Washington University
- Presentation of Washington University
- -Washington University is located in Seattle a
city of 600,000 inhabitants, AUP in Paris,
2,000,000 inhabitants and 11 if we integrate the
suburb. - -According to Wikipedia, Washington University is
approximately 42 times bigger in terms of
students number than AUP and have a campus of 3
km2.

General comments on MyWU
- The design of the website is very simple and
sober. We find the same colors code throughout
the website. - Logically, MyWU provides more information than
the two other website do, which is not always a
good point.
28
- Weaknesses
- -Some of the information is very hard to access
especially when you are not familiar with that
kind of huge website. - -Pages are overloaded which makes things
difficult to find - -The information found is often redundant
- ? One can find a list of the campus events on
almost every rubric. - -Some of the information provided would be
useless on MyAUP - ? Theater program, Parking information, Cultural
program of the different place in the city,
address book and phone book of every student who
live in the campus - Strength
- -Consequently to the size of the University MyWU
provides more specific information and seems to
be updated more often.
29
MyAUP
- I/ Design
- The organization of MyAUP is very confusing.
- -It is very hard to find things when you are not
familiar with the website. - -The rubrics do not respond to the user needs
- --gt there is no rubric for finance
30
Conclusion
- Division of the website
- USF chose to separate its website in two distinct
part - A part where one can find general information
about the university life - A part where one can find his private information
- Advantage The two different websites are
lighter. - Drawback The user is more confused when it comes
to find an information that could be in both
part. - UW and WU chose to link the two different parts
- Advantage The user dont have to contently
switch from a website to another. - Drawback Consequently to the repetition of some
information the websites are less pleasant to
navigate.
31
Conclusion
- Information
- MyAUP, because of its situation does not need as
much information as the three others. - Information such as the cultural activity in
Paris, the weather, the parking space and all the
information relative to the campus student rooms
would be useless for AUP. - The best example in how much information should
be provided on MyAUP. - MyUSF provides light information and pages are
not overloaded, which makes the navigation inside
the site very easy and pleasant.
32
- Rubrics
- After analyzing these 3 websites, I think the
best organization by rubric would be a mix
between MyUW and MyUF - Home, Academic, Finance, Services, Personal
Information - Also the idea of a unique color by rubric
observed in MyUSF is very interesting. - Colors
- All the websites chose white as a background and
then play with the color code of the university
which myAUP already does.
33
Conclusion
- Tools
- Some of the tools proposed by MyWU could be very
interesting for MyAUP (My webspace, Customize
your page, Live chat, Lost and found)
