Background and history
In May 2005 the Web Team became an operational group within Marketing.
Previously we were a MIS project team within Information Technology. There were 5 full time staff, a part-time fixed-term administrator and a dedicated web programmer/analyst in IT.
After the 2006 ICT Review the programmer/analyst was removed. We now compete on level footing with other parts of the university for staffing to meet core function number 4. (See Core Functions of the Web Team above).
We have completed a number of successful system developments such as Course Information System in 2004/5 and Minor Course Changes System in 2005/6.
Our staffing levels fluctuate. Project staff are brought in to implement system and business process improvements for the university.
