UT Direct Background/History UT’s Technology Environment UT Direct 1.0 UT Direct 2.0 Vision Web Standards Challenges

A Bit of History President Faulkner’s State of the University address in Fall 1999 Original goals of this vision –Improved quality of service –Improved efficiencies Help students, faculty, and staff with their university business Many services on the Web already

Technology Environment Unified databases Distributed application development; 175 trained developers ADABAS/Natural/webAgent

Sample Services Before UT Direct

UT Direct 1.0 Launched in August 2000 Customized and personalized experience to students, faculty and staff based on primary role Over 100 services

UT Direct 1.0 Development Effort 45 staff, 14,000 hours Estimated 50% of development hours spent on browser issues

UT Direct 1.0

UT Direct Usage 195K total users Spring 2002 –35K unique users per month –22K repeat visitors each month

Sample Services Before UT Direct

Similar Services After UT Direct 2.0

Issues faced with UT Direct 1.0 Changing templates Browser problems and updates; 50% of staff maintenance time Frames Some usability issues Component institution branding More granular role information needed

A vision for UT Direct 2.0 Removal of frames Web standards (XHTML/CSS/DOM) Support for other UT System components Inline functionality rather than just links to services

UT Direct 2.0 Vision (continued) Support for non-webAgent technologies Improved modularity and maintainability Improved accessibility Closer alignment with redesigned public site

Implementing UT Direct 2.0 Gathered developer community to outline vision Developed UT Direct “API” Web standards education and evangelization Usability/accessibility testing Interface guidelines Conversion

UT Direct 2.0

Anatomy of a UT Direct 2.0 Service

Why Were Web Standards Important Multiple browser problems Accessibility Developers would not be drawing the complete page Benefits to developers, end users, and support staff Reduced costs

Validation Tool for Secure Pages

Sample Tab Code Tabs: My Home My Bookmarks

Bookmarks Before – 6 pages After – 60 lines

Logon Screen Warning

Standard vs. Non-standard Browsers

Benefits of UT Direct Development Common look and feel for UT and other components Service can be easily bookmarked Service usage can be logged Developers make fewer interface decisions

Component Support

Challenges in Development Technical Issues –webAgent 1 and webAgent 2 –CSS Issues –Content Registry Political issues –Conversion –Priorities –Control

Future Move toward Java for portal framework Still must support webAgent applications Closer examination of uPortal features More open architecture Better alignment with public site
