成人大片

• Images are displayed on the digital screens in Hub Central for between 10-20 seconds.
• Large font should be utilised to allow images to be read at a distance.
• As the 成人大片 (UofA)聽is an English speaking University, images in a different language will not be displayed.
• Images must clearly be related to the UofA, i.e. the 成人大片 logo. These may be University events, student clubs, or important dates etc.
• Hub Central aims to be inclusive to all students at the UofA. As such, signs that are targeted towards all UofA students (i.e. domestic a nd international students) will have preference over images that exclude one group or the other.
• To keep the digital signage current, Images will only play for a maximum of 1 month. Longer play times are at the discretion of the Digital Signage Team. Please take this into consideration when submitting an image.
  • If you need an image to play for longer than a month, multiple image submissions are encouraged, provided there are significant differences between each image.

User feedback indicates that images that include too much writing are not as effective as images that limit the amount of writing, and instead include a link for further information.

• To increase the efficiency of the Hub Central digital screens, and to encourage students to look online for more information, images that have too much writing will not be uploaded and will be sent back to be altered.
• Images that have the basic information that then includes a QR code or link to further information are encouraged.

The vision for Hub Central is to provide the best on campus experience within the national higher education sector for all students. The key elements to the student experience within Hub Central have been identified as an informal learning space which facilitates aspects of social learning途 a library which is integrated in the learning process途 services for students which are delivered face-to-face and online途 and information technology with ongoing student focused support. A key element in achieving an excellent on campus experience is the developing of Information Technology and Digital Services (ITDS) facilities which provide high quality services, are student centered, and encourage informal and flexible learning practices.

Digital signage is a tool by which content and messages are displayed on electronic, computer controlled digital screens. It replaces static text and pictures with a display which can incorporate moving images, video, scrolling text and highlighted messages. Digital signage may be used to provide up-to-date information including dynamic content, emergency overrides, availability of resources, advertising and promotion. Digital signage enables the display of relevant messages on different screens according to the location of the screen and the time of day or year.

Hub Central has more than 20 digital signage screens, which aim to provide:

• A modern and efficient platform to communicate directly to students
• an additional channel for University stakeholders to display a range of promotional information relevant to students that will increase awareness of university campus life and student opportunities

• Postings on the digital signage will be moderated and the University reserves all right to upload or remove items. Material for the digital signage will be approved by a designated staff member before the message is displayed on the screens.
