As announced earlier on your favorite blog (well, I hope it is ;-), the 2006 EduWeb Conference will take place on July 31st and August 1st in Baltimore, MD.
If you haven’t had a chance to look at the program yet, you can find a detailed schedule on the conference website.
Some presentations scheduled at EduWeb have already picked my interest:
“New Voices: Observations form the University Blogosphere”, Dan Karleen, Thomson Peterson (Lunch Table on July 31st):
Dan gave an excellent presentation on RSS at the Salisbury Conference last year. This year, he plans to present the results of a survey on higher ed blogs. So, you can expect real meat (and not just wishful thinking) to be at the menu of this Lunch Table.
“The Recruiting 2.0 Revolution”, Brian Niles, Target X (Lunch Table on July 31st):
Brian also presented — on podcasting — last year at Salisbury.
“Web Projects: Formalize Your efforts with documentation and research and generate more internal support, site success” by Staci Roberts Beam Northwestern University (July 31st)
I don’t know Staci, but the title of her presentation sounds interesting.
“Usability Driven Homepage Design: A User-Centered Approach” by Matthew Winkel, The College of New Jersey (July 31st)
I interviewed Matthew for my University Business column — about RSS — to be published in the June issue. He also presented recently at HigherEdBlogCon.
“Mobile Web Design: Grappling with a Wireless Web” by Catherine Derecki, University of Mary Washington (August 1st)
Hopefully, a presentation that can answer your questions on how to optimize the love story of students (prospective, current or even alums) with their mobile phones.
“Editing Print Document for the Web” by Merry Bruns, Science Sites Communications (August 1st)
I don’t know about you, but I’m still asked to put print documents on the Web – which is why I’m curious to find out what Merry Bruns has in stock for us.
“Social Content Management: Embracing Your Next Content Author” by Eric Hodgson, Gandalf Development (August 1st)
I’ve already talked about this concept of social content management. With the popularity of myspace, facebook and others, I don’t think you can afford to ignore it.
If you want to save $100 on your registration fee, you need to register by June 1st (early-bird fee: $350, after June 1st: $450). You can register online.
