What do you think is the best tertiary education website?

March 18th 2010 at 2:27pm, By Dave Guerin

Organisations spend a lot of money on their websites these days, but which are the best? I’ll put up a few options in future posts, but I’d rather  get your views on what’s best and why. I’m happy to have self-nominations for this, as people running sites usually have a good sense if they’re working.

In the meantime, here’s a good clip from Vanessa Zimmerman, a Media Design School student. It’s part of a music video exercise and an example of how good content can draw attention to your site.

This isn’t really a nomination but a pointer to a similar dicussion. Smashing Magazine’s Showcase of Academic and Higher Education Websites has a look at lots of US tertiary education sites from a design perspective. Personally though, from a NZ perspective, I really like the AUT site.
