I’ve taken some time this afternoon to set up something that is going to simplify your life if you’re actively looking for a new position in higher ed or just want to make sure you won’t miss your dream job one day.
As you might know, I launched in early July a free job board, www.higheredexperts.com/work, [...]
That’s a pretty innovative way to deal with the put-me-on-the-homepage syndrome all higher ed web designers have to face when it’s time to redesign a university/college website.
No fighting to find out which links to put there? Just go with what the web users want!
Beautiful, don’t you think so?
The new redesign is available as a preview [...]
Happy Independence Day to my readers in the US!
If you’re looking for independence, a new job (or a new skilled team member) might be the way to go (I know that’s kind of a lame transition).
It’s been a few months since I decided to work on a better solution than the Higher Ed Experts [...]
As regular readers know, I design and schedule several webinar series per year for Higher Ed Experts.
Since it doesn’t make sense to have a series at the same time of a big conference, I keep track of some of the main events held throughout the year by different organizations and associations. And, I do [...]
Today, Inside Higher Ed has a great well-researched and well-written piece about a trend that will change the face of IT departments on most campuses in a few years: “When emailed is outsourced.” (Don’t forget to share it with your IT folks!)
In his article, Andy Guess, Mr. Technology at IHE, gives a very good overview [...]
Would you share your crisis ‘lite’ website homepage with your colleagues in higher education?
Since the Virginia Tech Tragedy, we all have been building/updating the web template to be used in case of a crisis or an emergency.
By nature, these web templates can’t be easily shared among different institutions. You don’t want the general public [...]

Benchmarking is the name of the game in higher education. No matter the type of projects you plan to work on, you (or your boss) will always need to see what’s done in others institutions.
Website (re)designs are no exception to this rule, and that’s why eduStyle, the website that aims to provide inspiration for [...]
There’s still time for your institution to sign up and you don’t even need a campus in SL to participate.
As of today, the following 20 institutions have expressed interest in participating in this virtual college fair organized on the Teen Grid of SL:
Front Range Community College, Colorado
Bradley University, Illinois
Florida State University
Montana State University
University of Kentucky
Johnson [...]
Everybody is talking about online videos lately (well, the fact that it’s Day 2 of the Higher Ed Experts’ series about online videos might explain some of the chatter in my virtual neighborhood ;-)
A recent report by the Pew Internet and American Life Project confirms that online videos have become a must-have web features as [...]
Lately, I’ve read more and more negative comments about SecondLife. Many inside and outside of higher education have questioned the return on investment of SL campuses for universities and colleges as Jeff Young from the Chronicle of Higher Ed wrote a few days ago in the Campus Wired Blog:
More than 100 colleges have set up [...]
