higher ed online conference about the so-called Web 2.0 technologies, HigherEd BlogCon, will start on April 3 – well, that’s Monday! – on a computer near you, so you’d better hurry up and subscribe to its RSS feed – your free pass to this conference.
Want a few good reasons to subscribe now?

Using Wikis to Facilitate Communication, Collaboration, and Knowledge Sharing Among Admissions and Administrative Personnel
Bonjour Karine!
Thanks for bringing this to my attention (I can always count on your blog to keep me up to date). I’m really looking forward to the event! I just wish the CASE workshops weren’t so bloody expensive. Even the recorded sessions on CD are over $200. Has anyone had any experience with the CASE seminars before….perhaps they are well worth it. It just seems as though 200+ is a bit much when you compare it to the price of a two day conference. I’ve ordered a few of their books, which were really good, but they are outragously expensive as well. Then again, these comments are coming from a person who works at a European university, in a Socialist country. Maybe the price is spot on in the US.
Bonne journee!
