Module glossary
Anchors (above)
Anchors are a series of links at the top of a page (just below the short header) that allow a visitor to quickly navigate a long-scrolling page.
- Anchors are NOT intended to be a Table of Contents and, therefore, items close to the top of the page should not be anchor links. These include the bio, quotes, key stats and, often, the first module following these introductory modules.
- Anchors have a maximum of six, and require no less than four.
Short header (above)
This module displays a large feature image at the top of the page which is overlaid by the page's title.
Specifications:
- must have a desktop image prepared that is 1920w x 432h
- must have a mobile image prepared that is 800w x 864h
- ensure the 'remove text offset' is ticked in the edit component properties box
- ensure the image item has a background colour set (usually dark) and has a focal point – this will avoid the image tiling
- ensure the image is not too light, as the page's title text is in white and this can cause accessibility/readability issues
- due to the panoramic style of the short header, choose a picture which has a large frame around the action. If your image has the focus point too close up, it won't be easily visible as a short header. Use derivv.com to test the crop of an image.

Tabbed containers bring together two or three info banner and carousels in a tabbed format. Due to some technical issues, DCS will create the tabbed containers but Faculty staff can create the content within each tab i.e. you would prepare the two or three info banner and carousels and then send a request to [email protected] or lodge a Service Desk ticket for DCS to create the actual tabbed containers on the page desired.
Using tabbed containers:
- they can have two or three tabs
- one info banner and carousel per tab
- tab titles cannot contain brackets or punctuation (hyphens are fine)
- only one tabbed container is allowed per page
- every tab must have a different image

Related links
This module displays between two and four linked items. The images, teasers and titles displayed are pulled from the pages themselves. All items must be UWA Sitecore pages (at the moment, this is Future Students/Faculties/Global Feature/Library pages).

Rich text module
This module is very flexible and can display text, call to action (CTA) buttons and images in variety of ways. It can also be used to create custom headers for modules that do not have in-built functionality.
- never use an H1 in the rich text module. Web standards require that only one H1 is visible on a page and this is taken by the page title which is displayed in the short header.
- width should be set to 'normal'; on rare occasion 'narrow' may be used but never 'full width'
- padding is at the content author's discretion
- bio or intro text should be two column for the optimal amount of content; if the content is quite short, one-column centred text may be used
- for a profile page, the order is blue subtitle, quote, bio, key stats. If they have no key stats, the quote goes below the bio instead
Supporting the social inclusion of older people by improving their digital literacy
Throughout my studies at UWA I've been given great opportunities to network with professionals from a wide range of industries. Hannah Dawson, Master of Professional Engineering student
This project re-evaluates policies of ageing by focusing on mobility, migration and new media. It examines how support networks for older people are increasingly dispersed due to the greater mobility of their family, friends and care services.
Access to social networks and a capacity to belong and engage with other people is now understood as a significant indicator of healthy ageing. Importantly, the increasing uptake of new communication technologies means that social activities, social interactions and a sense of belonging are no longer limited to local, proximate networks and communities.
What remains unknown, but that will be addressed by this project, is the role of distant and virtual support networks in the lives of older Australians, the potential and actual role of new media in the experiences of older people, and their use of effective support networks.
The insights gained by this project will be used to radically update aged care policy and service delivery.
The research includes a survey of the sector as well as participant observation, ethnographic life history interviews and network analysis to compare experiences of diverse older migrants and non-migrants in both urban and regional locations, at home and in institutional care.
The project is being led by Professor Loretta Baldassar of UWA's School of Social Sciences and Associate Professor Raelene Wilding of Latrobe University. This three-year project secured Australian Research Council Funding in 2016.
