The Civic Action Free University -- An Upgrade for User Convenience
Translations available in: English (original) | French | Spanish | Italian | German | Portuguese | Swedish | Russian | Dutch | Arabic

G'Day All --

Based on user feedback, a very simple (but perhaps significant) change has been made to The Civic Action Free University's web page.

If you would like to have a look, go to the site, at:

http://www.tcafu.net

... and check the newly added:

>>>    Important Notice for First-Time Visitors    <<<

The problem that many new users were having seemed to be caused by the very normal habit of just scrolling down the page, in order to see what's there.  But, because the page is so extensive, the scrolling process tended to become a confusing and "eye-glazing" experience.

The hope is that the simple -- but quite prominent -- new note at the beginning of the page will encourage new visitors to use the "Site Contents and Instant Access" panel, thereby greatly simplifying familiarization with the page's contents.

But, of course, the effectiveness of this modification will be determined by the "real world" experience reported by site visitors.

If you have any reactions -- pro or con -- please feel free to let me know.

Would you like to explore the possibilities for volunteer, professional, and/or career involvement in civic action, community service, and other constructive developmental efforts in countries that are of greatest interest to you ??

Take a little time to acquaint yourself with the Non-Governmental Organizations (NGOs) that are currently engaged in programs of this sort.  Link up and learn from them if you can find opportunities to do so.  Use the directories below:

TakingITGlobal Organizations Directory

InterAction Membership Directory

USAID Private Voluntary Organizations Directory

Re: Upgrade For Users
I have visited your old site many times, and personally speaking I liked it a little better than this new one. But that's just my observation. The reason I found the layout of your other one better though for your interest, is vthat I am very visually impaired, and the other (old) site seemed a lot more User-Friendly, in that regard.
