Bureau of Meteorology, Commonwealth Government of Australia.
Intranet design and development
- Added content and features to a large intranet for the Bureau of Meteorology in HTML, CSS and JavaScript.
- Implemented AA accessibility standards across all content in the intranet.
- Created an events calendar component connected with Outlook in VB Script.
Info sheets and training workshops
- Designed and authored a series of one page guides on using the publishing features of Microsoft Office, to help staff publish their scientific documents.
- In many cases staff were in remote locations and unable to attend training workshops in person, so these guides provided valuable assistance.
- Planned and delivered numerous workshops for staff in person, demonstrating publishing features and giving advice on using Microsoft Office apps.
Instructional videos
Wrote, recorded and edited a series of short videos providing guidance to Bureau of Meteorology staff on the publishing capabilities of Microsoft Word and PowerPoint.
- Research into the difficulties faced by users in performing common tasks as they publish their work.
- Each video presented a quick solution to a task that often caused difficulty to staff, e.g. applying templates to a Word document, or fixing broken styling and formatting.
- Used the excellent features of the Camtasia video editing suite to rapidly produce material on a variety of subject areas.
- These videos proved highly successful as an alternative to generic written documentation, as they showed realistic examples using Bureau branding and templates.
