VisiTOUR (formerly CVE) 2.0 vs. 1.0

The differences and improvements with the 2.0 VisiTOUR tour building platform.

VisiTOUR 2.0 will introduce tour building into the [schoolname].lets-connect.io platform, the same place where communications are sent. Let's review the major differences between the 2 platforms. 

Overall Goals: 

  • You'll be able to build tours in the same place you create content and launch messaging campaigns
  • More intuitive flow to create tours
    • You'll still have the option to create curated tour or personalized tour, but have a more understandable Content Management System (CMS)
  • Less clicking and overall cleaner user experience

Preview/Publishing Flow

  • You'll be able to preview and publish tours entirely on your own
  • Easy to see and control what tours are published and which ones are in draft
  • Overview of what will be published to have better understanding of what is included in the tour

Settings

  • Adding the colors will be significantly easier - you can either select a color from a color picker or add in a Hex value
  • Images (homepage image, conclusion image, logo) will be viewable
  • Removing illustrations

Locations

  • Enter in address into a map instead of needing to figure out the latitude/longitude
  • Clear which image will be the feature image
  • Emoji selector (as opposed to current keyboard shortcuts)
  • Easily add tags
  • For multicampus institutions, separate out locations by campus

Videos

  • Easier to switch between videos and testimonials
  • Will show thumbnail for videos and testimonials

Personalized Tours

  • Have their own section
  • You can create Categories for tags (still only for the Academics question)
  • Will have the top 25 tags auto-filled on institution creation
