summary
The Reserve Officers’ Training Corps (ROTC) plays an intergral role at Norwich University, where ROTC began. At Norwich, ROTC are called National Services. Our National Services websites fail to capture the variety of rigorous training offered by each program. We chose to redesign and restructure the Army ROTC website as a pilot. Once it’s launched and we modify the site according to usability testing, the rest of our National Services websites will received similar treatments. Strong visuals are vital in caputuring visitors attention and in portraying the physically demanding training.
audience
The primary audiences are prospective students. The majority of Norwich students enter our Corps of Cadets, and many of them opt to take ROTC and purse a career as an officer in a military branch.
