News and Tips for Higher Ed Pros

Mark Greenfield, the driving force of the Uwebd social networking website, Stewart Foss, the owner of eduStyle and myself (I’m the Higher Ed Experts/Collegewebeditor.com person) have been working on a very special community initiative.

Instead of polling our respective members in our own little corners of the Web, we agreed to launch a grouped survey to find out what makes the higher ed web and communication community ticks and how our respective websites can better serve this group.

This survey has about 25 questions (but depending on your situation, it might even be shorter). If you fill it out and provide us with your email address, you’ll get a chance to win one of the 6 cool prizes that will be drawn on October 16, 2008:

1. a free pass (a $300 value) to the 3-webinar series scheduled on October 21-23: “PR School 2.0: How to survive and thrive in the new online world of Public Relations and Communications”
2. a free pass (a $300 value) to the 3-webinar series scheduled on November 11-13: “Social Networks MBA: How to develop and nurture a thriving community online”
3. a free pass (a $240 value) to the 2-webinar series scheduled on December 2-3: “Email Marketing 360″
4. a 1GB (Product) RED iPod Shuffle courtesy of eduStyle (a $49 value)
5. 2 Amazon $50 gift certificates courtesy of Collegewebeditor.com.

This survey will be open until October 16, but you never know what can happen, so go take it now at tinyurl.com/higheredsurvey!
