Science Hub's Main Page

The Science Learning Hub, a free-to-access platform dedicated to science education, offers a wealth of resources for students, educators, and the general public. While the exact layout of the homepage may vary, its core features aim to support science learning and engagement.

Upon visiting the homepage, users are greeted with a clear introduction that signals the Science Learning Hub's focus on science topics, learning resources, and opportunities for engagement. Navigation tools are prominently displayed, enabling easy access to essential resources such as science modules, learning activities, articles, and multimedia content.

One of the highlighted sections is the Events area, listing upcoming science and education events happening nationwide. This keeps educators and learners informed about opportunities for engagement. The Notifications bell indicates new resources or events users can take part in.

The homepage also features a dedicated section for current science research in New Zealand, connecting learners with real-world science applications and active research projects. Cross-curricular links and activities integrate science with other disciplines, such as mathematics and technology, often including statistical investigations in biodiversity or environmental contexts.

Clear wayfinding and user guidance ensure a smooth navigation experience. Users can find their way logically and efficiently through the site, with visual cues guiding them to learning material. The footer section enables connection with the Science Learning Hub via multiple social media platforms and email.

A profile can be found next to the glossary, and creating a profile takes just a minute, providing access to features like managing collections. The News section allows browsing newsletters and news articles, while popular topics and concepts are displayed below the featured resources, serving as navigation tools for the vast amount of content on the Hub.

The Science Learning Hub homepage is a starting point for exploring the Hub's features. Clicking "View all resources" provides access to a variety of filters to search the library. Users can subscribe to the monthly newsletter or view past newsletters by entering their email in the footer section.

In addition, the "Latest resources" section includes articles, activities, teacher PLD, and more. Clicking "View all events" offers filters to find events relevant to one's time and place. The homepage logo in the upper left corner can be clicked to return to the homepage, and the search icon allows users to find content anywhere on the Hub. A feedback tool can be found at the lower left corner of the screen throughout the site for sharing issues with the team.

Collectively, these features create a comprehensive learning environment on the Science Learning Hub homepage, supporting a wide spectrum of users from students to educators by providing structured content, timely updates, and interactive learning opportunities.
