Dear Colleagues
The Jorum team are pleased to announce the release of a new visual
identity, officially launched this week at the ALT-C 2010 conference.
The Jorum service, which has seen numerous changes over the last
year, began its transformation in January 2010 with the release of
JorumOpen.
As a result of this recent growth in resources available, and feedback
received from our users, it is the perfect time to adapt Jorum?s look
- to further
enhance the service, promote the resources, and highlight the value
and benefits of Jorum.
Our aim was to create an identity that works across all methods of
communication, which first and foremost promotes what is at the heart
of our service ? the resources in Jorum. Alongside this we wanted to
clarify Jorum?s three key areas - Find, Share and Discuss.
The Jorum team has developed the visual identity based around these
key benefits, and visitors to the new look website can now clearly see
the Find, Share and Discuss areas of Jorum as icons, and view featured
resources at the top of the page. Click on any of the icons to be
taken to easy ways to do just that - find resources, share resources,
and discuss all issues around creating and sharing resources.
We are proud of our new look, and we hope it will be well received by
our community of users.
We would love to hear your views on our new look, so please e-mail
[log in to unmask], or provide feedback via the link on the Jorum
website (jorum.ac.uk).
