Common Questions from Previous Website Reports and Evaluation Meetings
Q1: Can the process of the website report and evaluation meeting be recorded?
A1: Please do not record the competition process.
Q2: Do I need to prepare a PowerPoint for the website report and evaluation meeting?
A2: No, please directly open the webpage of each unit in the computer classroom, then press F12 to switch to the mobile version and show it to the evaluation committee.
Q3: Should I present the desktop or mobile version of the webpage on the day?
A3: Only present the mobile version. The evaluation criterion for "desktop compatibility" has been removed, leaving only "mobile compatibility."
Q4: How do I display the mobile version of the webpage using a computer?
A4: Use the built-in mobile simulation function of the browser.
Q5: Should both English and Chinese versions of the webpage be presented?
A5: Yes, both must be presented.
Q6: How should I report during the website report and evaluation meeting?
A6: Each unit has 5 minutes to present. Key points of the report:
Target Audience:
A brief one-liner is enough. Although the target audience for each academic unit is students, each department's website content has its own unique features. Let the committee know your website’s target audience to give them an idea of what to expect.
(The committee may ask: "XX audience needs certain information, but it seems to be missing.")
Common target audiences: Current students, faculty and staff, prospective students, industry partners, etc. This includes international students.
Website purpose:
Briefly mention: "The goal is to provide the necessary information in both Chinese and English for the target audience."
Main part of the presentation:
Explain how the website is organized and how the homepage is designed, along with the information it offers, based on the audience and purpose. Show the site as you explain.
Don’t forget to test the mobile version in advance to avoid layout issues on the day of the presentation. Tables and embedded videos are especially prone to formatting issues.
Q7: What kind of questions might the evaluation committee ask?
A7: Common questions from previous competitions include:
Q8: Why is the website report and evaluation meeting only worth 70% of the total score?
A8: The remaining 30% comes from "post-evaluation website review."
Q9: Can we change the presenter at the last minute?
A9: Yes, but please notify in advance who will replace the original presenter.
Q10: How do I display the mobile version during the report using a computer in a physical classroom?
A10: Press F12 to switch to mobile view.
Q11: How do I prevent pop-up LINE messages during the report?
A11: Turn on "Do Not Disturb" mode (not Airplane Mode).
Q12: Can we use our own laptops for the report?
A12: Yes, but please bring your own HDMI cable and any adapters needed to connect to the classroom computer system.
Q13: Can we bring our own presentation clicker for the report?
A13: Yes, you can.
Q14: How should we present the number of followers for "Social Media Platform FB, IG, YT" as part of the social media extra credit review?
A14: Each unit should include the follower counts for FB, IG, and YT platforms in the blank page at the bottom of the self-check form submitted in August, with screenshots attached. The review will verify these counts during the social media extra credit review.

Q15: How should we present the number of likes for individual posts on social media platforms like FB, IG, YT?

Q16: If our unit doesn’t have social media, do we need to fill in the social media extra credit review information?
A16: No, if there is no information provided, the extra credit score will be 0%.
Q17: What is the total possible score for this website and social media competition?
A17: The website report and evaluation meeting counts for 70%, the post-evaluation website review counts for 30%, totaling 100%. The newly added social media extra credit review is worth an additional 10%, for a total of 110%.
Q18: Is there a time limit on the posts considered for the social media post like count?
A18: There is no time limit for this review. Any post on the unit’s social media account is acceptable. Since this is the first year the extra credit is being added, future competitions may include time restrictions.
Q19: Why do some unit webpage links redirect to the school homepage?
A19: Due to security upgrades, if back-end data is updated but the URL is not updated accordingly, or if original content is removed without removing the URL, it will result in a "Page not found" error. To address this, the system has been set to automatically redirect broken links to the school homepage. If units later fix these URLs, they will correctly display the content again. Additionally, if switching from a valid Chinese page to an invalid English page, it will also result in a redirect. Therefore, units are reminded to ensure bilingual content is properly set up and active.
