As promised in one of my latest posts, blogging has been very light lately. Don’t worry, I’ll be back in full mode soon.
In the meantime, you might want to have a look at a feature-long article I wrote for the August issue of University Business about email outsourcing: E-mail, Gmail, Hotmail, and Beyond.
And, if your [...]

Note from Karine: This year, I’ve asked all the eduWeb speakers working in universities/colleges to share in 140 words or less the biggest take-away from their presentation or table talk. If you’ve attended this session, feel free to weigh in by posting a comment, a question or a suggestion.
Ask yourself two questions:
Does your email [...]
Sorry for my light blogging, but I have been working on a few projects lately… and something had to give.
One of these projects is a feature-long article for the August issue of University Business (it’s due June 1st - it’s a magazine, not a blog ;-) about email outsourcing in higher education.
If you don’t have [...]
Today, they even sent “Matthew” an invitation for the 2008 HighEdWeb Conference.
Problem is I don’t have a brother and haven’t planned (or ever thought about it for that matter) any gender-changing surgery.
Lori from the conference committee gave the explanation in a blog post posted yesterday:
Due to a mail merge snafu with our conference [...]
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 [...]
The first session I attended this morning was presented by Karen M. Hackett and Jim Leous from Penn State University.
Both explained how the ITS department at Penn State has moved into the “communication age” (my words, not theirs) by adopting the very disruptive approach of “radical transparency.”
While IT departments usually are known to work on/fix [...]
Sharaf Atakhanov, Senior Media Developer at Temple University presented a very interesting session today in Baltimore: “Email Campaigns That Work.” He even shared the PDF file of his presentation online.
Drew Stephens, web designer at the University of Arkansas at Little Rock, is one of the six very nice people who agreed to share their [...]
I’ve put together a short online survey to get a better idea of the state of print and electronic publications in higher education.
The results of this survey will be used for my next University Business column to be published in October 2007 and for a study I’m conducting on this topic.
My goal is to assess [...]
Email might be cost-effective, but it’s not be the best way to reach prospective students anymore.
Don’t believe me?
You don’t have to (although I would have appreciated it ;-) — just look at the following results from the national survey conducted with high school juniors I mentioned in a previous post:
64% said they would like to [...]
Back in Ithaca NY, Aba Blankson sent this report about the session she attended yesterday at EduWeb in Baltimore: “HTML Email & Flash Appeals The Basics and Beyond,” a session presented by Andrew Iskowitz.
The development track sessions at the conference have been quite informative. The presenters have provided great insight, but I’ve also learned [...]
