Ideas so far for Student Handbook
1. Information Overload
- Spread out body text
- Add page breaks for each chapter
- Double page spreads - colour? Pattern? Icons for each chapter?
2. Quotes for each section from current students, explaining why the information is useful to know
3. QR code for emails and phone numbers, save in phone- useful tool
