News and Tips for Higher Ed Pros

As announced in my first post about these awards, the nominations for best websites, web projects and blogs are now open and will close on April 30, 2008.

So, here is what you need to do if you want to nominate a website or a blog:

If a site is in the eduStyle gallery

1. Create an eduStyle account if you don’t already have one
2. Log into eduStyle in the log in box in the right hand column of the site
3. Navigate to the site you’d like to nominate by clicking on the Gallery link in the top navigation
4. Click on the “Nominate this site for an award” button

If a site isn’t in the gallery

1. Create an eduStyle account if you don’t already have one
2. Log into eduStyle in the log in box in the right hand column of the site
3. Click on the “Submit a Site” link in the right hand navigation
4. Submit the site to the gallery
5. Once the site is approved for the gallery (typically within 12-24 hours) you will receive an email
6. Click on the link in the email to visit the site’s page
7. Click on the “Nominate this site for an award” button

I hope that you will take the time to submit/nominate some blogs as well for the Collegewebeditor.com Blog Awards. We are looking for 2 types of nominations:

• Student blogs
• Institutional blogs (written by staff or faculty member(s)

The nomination process is the same.
