Current higher-ed web manager/designer at #uleth. You might remember me from eduStyle. Or as a former elected municipal politician (2018-21). Also: UX, volunteering, old buildings, placemaking, happiness, lasers, 3D printing.
Does a horizontal scrolling list of programs get more interaction than carousels? 🤔 Horizontal scrolling feels like a no-no, but with touchscreens and trackpads everywhere, maybe I’m just showing my age. That said, I do love being able to filter programs right from the homepage. www.oberlin.edu

There's a growing trend in higher-ed of hiding menus on desktop sites under either a menu/hamburger button or icon. My instincts says this is a negative for user experience. NN Group researched this in 2016 and found as much. Anyone (maybe site owners on this path) done any recent UX research?

Love it, of course I work in a Brutalist masterpiece, University Hall at the University of Lethbridge. Great post and examples of Brutalism in Calgary.

What confuses me most, is that adding Canada as a state is coming from Republicans. We are a country which perpetually votes 60-70% left-of-center. Give us a few seats, Senators and some electoral votes and the Democrats would own the house, senate and presidency forever.

This is how a kid from small town Alberta, Canada works on his soccer game in the winter. 30 minutes of shovelling to practice his shots. (pardon my thumb in the shot)
