Student retention, particularly during year 1, was seen as an increasing threat:<br />
<ul><li>The lost turnover represented by an early dropout is considerable - fees are usually waived and we lose the on-campus income also </li>
<li>Online case studies from various universities suggest dropouts often contribute negatively to word-of-mouth . So, they impact on future recruitment</li>
<li>Ultimately, as a university charging an average of £7,500 in fees, Staffordshire has to improve its retention rate as part of its agreement with the Office of Fair Access </li>
</ul>We wanted to find a way of improving students’ experience of their arrival at University & first few ‘exploratory weeks’. That’s because we believe failure to settle in is one of the biggest causes of dropout:<br />
<ul><li>Anecdotally, Union reps tell us this</li>
<li>Internet sources concur, e.g. ‘Homesickness’ is the second most common drop out reason related in case studies on The Student Room. The first being ‘course issues’.</li>
</ul>We can’t control course quality directly, as marketers – but we can ensure as much familiarity with the University as possible.<br />
<br />
<h2><b>What we did</b></h2>Failing to make students feel part of the University before, and immediately after arrival is thus a major contributor to dropouts.<br />
<ul><li>Enrolment notoriously busy, chaotic - individualised attention varies</li>
<li>Experience showed students did not always read printed/e-mail information provided prior to arrival</li>
<li>Such media incapable, anyway, of providing a true sense of the physical environment and experiences awaiting </li>
<li>We needed to bring key information to the fingertips of new students in a more engaging fashion</li>
<li>To improve the feeling of belonging, improve ‘orientation’ and make students feel ‘at home’ as quickly as possible</li>
<li>We chose an online game</li>
</ul><h2>Results</h2><ul><li>Total potential players (2011 UK enrolment only) was 3,600</li>
<li>The game was played around 2700 times. (This will include people re-visiting their saved games). </li>
<li>The stats for the number of players who entered the enrolment hall for the first time was 1,865 (62.2% of total audience). </li>
<li>Individual usage is impossible to precisely establish but this figure is likely to reflect total participation. </li>
<li>Percentage of withdrawals v.’s 2010 equivalent was 5/6 of the previous year’s figure, a minimal change...albeit for the better! </li>
<li>However with a negative prognosis at the outset on retention we feel reasonably positive. </li>
</ul>Even with a modest improvement ROI is positive in year 1.<br />
<ul><li>9.94 students is the ‘projected loss’ we would have suffered between September & October if 2011 withdrawal figure of 0.87% had equalled that of the previous year – 1.15%</li>
<li>We can take a reasonable average for annual fees, and add to that our calculations of the share the University makes from each students’ annual cost of living (as assessed by our Students’ Union)</li>
<li>Even without any government penalties that may/may not be incurred by loss of a student, the turnover involved is £149,100</li>
<li>Game cost £28,000</li>

At some points in the game, the user is asked to visit an external web page with the relevant URI being displayed not only as a link, but also in a "shortened" form in case they wish to remember the address for future visits. At some points, it was necessary to set up an additional shortened URI if one for the page did not already exist.<br />
<br />
Based on this experience, we have developed additional guidelines for "short" URIs that we will be adopting across the whole of the University's web presence. The existing guidelines for short URIs were limited to: <br />
<ol><li>Should avoid ambiguity, e.g. sometimes there's a crossover between "Business School" and "For Business", so URIs containing "business" have to be carefully selected. </li>
<li>They must not contain a year or other date reference, because they effectively go "out of date" and in the case of recurring events, require a new one to be set up each year.</li>
</ol><h2>New guidelines for URIs</h2>Future practice will include: <br />
<ol start="3"><li><b>Short URIs must be all lowercase.</b><br />
This is because they are case sensitive, and most users assume lowercase as it avoid additional key presses, especially on mobile devices.</li>
<li><b>No underscores, dashes or other characters.</b><br />
When saying the URI out loud, characters such as "dash" have to be pronounced, and many users confuse "dash" with "slash", or even "underscore". An exception may be made if the "running together" of words on the user's part leads to unintentional pronounciation ("Therapist Finder" being a classic example!)</li>
<li><b>Multiple short URIs to one canonical URI will no longer be approved.</b></li>
<li><b>They must not go directly to non-HTML content.</b><br />
There must be an "intervening" web page first, in order to prevent "<a href="http://www.useit.com/alertbox/20030728.html" title="Jakob Nielsen's Alertbox:
Gateway Pages Prevent PDF Shock">PDF shock</a>".</li>
<li><b>They must not lead off site, i.e. to somewhere not on staffs.ac.uk.</b><br />
An exception may be made for linking to the University's official social media accounts.</li>
</ol><h2>List of URIs used in the game</h2>Not all of the links from <i>My New Uni</i> are actually shortened URIs, but the complete list is as follows:<br />

<ul><li>"My uni is pretty good! Nice one! :)"</li>
<li>"i like the "my new uni" game, although the one problem i had was the mouse not disappearing in first person mode. despite that, it really helped!"</li>
<li>" Not bad at all, takes the hassle out of wondering where to go and what to do, also good to know how close the accommodation is to lectures."</li>
<li>"Pretty cool. I was heartbroken that I couldn't find a way to jump off the map :(</li>
<li>Just a thought, but what if students could contribute to this each year. Maybe incorporate it in with some 3d modelling or texturing modules?</li>
<li>It would be an interesting way to show off to new students in that case. Maybe after time it could slowly be expanded to include some some lecture rooms; perhaps even the surrounding areas like beaconside village, or BASIC routes to town."</li>
<li>"definatly suggests giving mynewuni a tryout !"</li>
<li>"It's really impressive and definitely useful. Well done to whoever designed it!"</li>
<li>" It would be better if you could go into The Ember Lounge :) - Also, we spent ages trying to find zombies to shoot, but no joy!"</li>
<li>"It's (taking its time) downloading... but I get the feeling this will be amazing!"</li>
<li>"Ahaha, I love the VC's "character" on the My New Uni game - very nice! /cc @StaffsUni"</li>
<li>"is loving 'My New Uni' the new alternate reality game that puts you in a virtual Staffs world - fab for freshers "</li>
<li>"Having a bit of a laugh with the new @StaffsUni game :)"</li>

Once the final version of the game is ready, they will upload it to the server and we will commence testing.<br />
<br />
On a related note, we will also make a number of copies available on disc upon request, and a request form is being built for inclusion in the <i>My New Uni</i> web pages. This is to allow students who may not have internet access when they arrive to install the game.Staffshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17551902090993478401noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6548595147173097365.post-5481592719269680272011-08-22T15:26:00.001+01:002011-08-22T15:35:29.365+01:00Where should the game be hosted?One of the remaining issues is where to host the game. The installer is around 250<abbr title="megabytes">MB</abbr> in size, and with around 2,000 new students potentially downloading it, that is a potential <i>half a terabyte</i> of traffic!<br />
<br />
That's not to mention other use cases, such as:<br />
<ul><li>A user having an interrupted download, so they may need to start downloading again</li>
<li>Users from other institutions</li>
<li>Users installing across multiple devices</li>
</ul>The potential increase in traffic has been raised with our Information Services department, and they will advise as to whether the current infrastructure should be able to cope, or whether the game will need to be externally hosted.

<ul><li>Dawn Lyle (iCreate)</li>
<li>Allison Ridge (The Honesty Room)</li>
<li>Debbie Cooke / Tim Deville / Sue Lawton / Chris Goostry / Tom Hart (Strategic Marketing)</li>
<li>Nia Wearn (Faculty of Computing, Engineering & Technology) </li>
<li>Maria Scrivens / Judy O'Brien (Press & PR)</li>
</ul>Dawn requested that as many as possible <a href="http://www.iviewer3d.co.uk/mynewuni/My_New_Uni.exe">download the beta version</a> and report any bugs so that they can be eliminated in the final version. The deadline for comments is 17 August.<br />
<br />
<h3>Issues to be resolved</h3><ul><li>Some Students' Union flyers still need to be provided</li>
<li> How to 'end the game' to be decided - at the moment, you finish all your tasks and then nothing happens</li>
<li>Still need content relating to Week 2 sign-in</li>
<li>Chris G is working on providing links to 'Award Handbooks'.</li>
<li>Where will the game be hosted for download. Given the size of the file (250MB), and the number of potential downloads, it will need to be on a server that can handle the traffic</li>
<li>Credits - there will be a quick screen of credits when the user clicks 'EXIT' to quit the game. A list of names, organisations and logos is required </li>

<br />
iCREATE cannot confirm if this is possible and will reserve judgement until they have completed the 'crucial' parts of the game before seeing whether we can add in some more 'nice to have' elements.

</div><div class="MsoNormal">These JPEGS show the revised designs for the interface. If it looks a bit dark, it's because we have 'blacked out' the background when there is a pop-up displaying dialogue or instructions... This might need rethinking. We have suggested <b>'MY NOTEBOOK</b>' instead of business cards, so the player can periodically save links and reminders to their notebook for future ref. <b>BIRDS EYE VIEW</b> takes them to the aerial overview of the model so they can hop from one area to the next. And just to clarify, this interface is designed to overlay the live game play as an <b>on-screen menu at all times</b>, with pop-ups centre screen when there are instructions or dialogue.</div>Staffshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17551902090993478401noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6548595147173097365.post-91665638170831492212011-06-14T14:38:00.001+01:002011-06-14T15:16:00.996+01:00Preview of the Stoke campus modelThis is a <a href="https://docs.google.com/leaf?id=0Byt9N-sXcYyvMzI4YmMxNDEtNGZiZS00MDEyLTgwY2ItY2JlZDRjMzMwODk0&hl=en_US">playable version of the initial model of the Stoke campus</a>, including both College Road and Leek Road. It is an 80MB ZIP file, and runs on Windows PCs only.<br />
<br />
This is first stage design and not how the end game will look. Further campus dressing is required to add warmth, to look at "Google versus real city" to check whether correct, and to minimise the look of surrounding "white blob" buildings (that are not part of the game).Staffshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17551902090993478401noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6548595147173097365.post-59944651391626143752011-06-14T14:28:00.003+01:002011-06-14T15:17:32.241+01:00Preview of avatar designHere is a preview of a possible design for the avatars that will be used in the game:<br />

They covered the whole of the locations at Beaconside, College Road, Leek Road and Blackheath Lane, along with selected parts of the surrounding area.<br />
<br />
This gives the basis to start work on the 3D modelling that will make up both the game environment and the "flythrough" of the campuses.<br />
<br />
The process took approximately two days to complete and the process involved:<br />
<ul><li>A guide from the University</li>
<li>An account handler making sure that the correct areas were photographed</li>
<li>A photographer.</li>
</ul>Initially, we shared our static 2D maps so iCreate could grasp the scope of this part of the brief; we are a two campus university and there is also a split on the Stoke campus (Leek Road, College Road, etc.)<br />
<br />
The process was to photograph the campuses at set points, and then spend around 3 weeks modelling. Google Maps and other tools will also be used to show more clearly the area surrounding the University. We have supplied further imagery of the new 6th form college and science centre so that the map can be as realistic as possible.<br />
<br />
We have another use for these maps already: iCreate (for an extra cost) will put the maps into an "app-compatible" format so we can show our campus more easily at open days and UCAS events. This will be part of the app that was designed earlier this year.Staffshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17551902090993478401noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6548595147173097365.post-57715937677353563082011-04-21T10:51:00.001+01:002011-04-21T12:26:22.982+01:00Linking to the University's web presenceAt some points in the game, the user will need to be taken to a part of the University's web presence in connection with the relevant "goal". This will either be to complete a specific task, or to get further information that is managed my a specific department.<br />
