I’ve been thinking about this for a while now:
How can we manage to keep up with all the amazing content and interesting conversations taking place in so many higher ed websites and blogs?
I tried the catch-up-date post a few weeks ago on this blog, but realized quickly they were also drawn in the sea of published content.
So, then I thought about email (maybe because I was promoting the Email Marketing 360 webinar series starting tomorrow)
Why not try to compile the best of the content published on all the sites we wish we could visit more often in a short right-to-the-point email newsletter sent every week or so?
The results of the survey we ran a month or so ago showed me it was worth trying (80% of the 540 respondents indicated they would be interested in receiving updates every other week), so I did and sent this morning – to the registered HEE members only – the first issue of this new email newsletter compiling:
- the latest higher ed jobs from www.higheredexperts.com/work,
- upcoming events and conferences pulled from the higher ed calendar I maintained on this blog,
- the 5 most engaging discussions on the uwebd Ning website,
- the 5 must-read posts from the higher ed blogosphere,
- the latest video website reviews from educheckup.com
- the 5 most popular websites at the edustyle gallery for the past 7 days
Want to check out the first issue sent this morning?
Here it is:
If you’re a registered HEE members, you should have received it. If you’re not, but want to give this newsletter a try, you can just subscribe to it by filling out the form below:

Karine,
Love the newsletter as I already told you this morning. You mentioned the survey did you publish those results anywhere? I remember taking it, but me being the data junkie that I am I always like scanning through other survey data.
Not yet, Kyle. I need to get to it. Will do when things slow down a bit – hopefully the holidays should help.
This is a fantastic resource, especially when things are getting busy (as they have been for me this week). I’ve already pulled some great info from the articles that were featured. Kudos.
Thanks, Gordon! Glad you find it useful, that’s the whole idea behind this new version :-)
