OCAD University has unveiled a new dynamic integrated digital service - website and app - that defines a new way to engage within the University, setting a bold standard for user experience and design.
After almost two years of consultation with students, staff, faculty and external partners, OCAD U has launched a fully accessible website that offers an enhanced user journey for prospective students and their families, donors, alums, partners, media, government and potential new employees.
The University also launched a centralized platform and mobile app, myOCADU, which provides easy access to essential resources for current students, faculty and staff.
Some key highlights of this customizable experience include a new AI augmented search that connects content from across official university channels. The website also features an expanded showcase of student projects, alumni stories and University initiatives, along with an interactive events calendar.
"I am excited about the launch of our redesigned website and online platform - the result of countless hours of consultation and support from representatives across the University," says President and Vice-Chancellor Ana Serrano. "OCAD U is more than a university - it is also a vibrant hub for all sorts of art, design and cultural activities and a vast talent network of artists and designers."
The new OCAD U website is a one-stop shop for a vibrant community of more than 4,000 students, over 20,000 alums, the most sought-after faculty in art and design education that has six galleries and 20 research labs and centres.
