Hi Joseph,

I am assuming you are looking at an external audit for your public-facing
content and not necessarily instructional/academic content within your LMS
platforms?

Some ideas as to where to focus your efforts:

- Use Google Analytics and determine the top pages institutionally
- Identify key website templates
- Identify representational content pages
- Any interactive forms (see below)
- Identify major dynamic content pages
- Use of dialog modals and alerts
- Key entry and exit pages
- Any help and assistance pages


Also, you may want to check the following pages, specifically:

- Course and institutional registration pages (especially interactive
forms)
- Counseling
- Financial aid (especially interactive forms)
- Health Services
- Wi-fi sign-on access points (sometimes these are web-based)
- Library access (and printing stations, if applicable)


While this will not guarantee every page will be reviewed, I think the
focus of an external audit should be on those pages that have a significant
impact on current and potential students as well as staff, faculty, and
members of the public. That can get the process started. At some point, you
may want to consider an automated scanning/monitoring solution to assist in
the process.

Take care,
Sean
