I’ve just secured my early-bird registration to attend HighEdWebDev in Rochester on October 14-17, 2007.
If you also plan to attend what is probably the best higher ed conference for Web folks in North America (hey, that means we’ll get a chance to meet ;-), make sure you register before this Friday. It’s the deadline for the early-bird registration. Next week, the conference fee will cost you an extra $100.
This year, besides attending as many interesting sessions listed on the conference program as possible, I’m going to give a presentation.
Here’s the description of my session titled “12-step program for better blogging” scheduled on October 15:
More and more universities and colleges have started to use blogs as communication channels to engage prospective students or alums, inform current students, faculty and staff, promote special events and even to communicate with project stakeholders.
While it’s very easy and affordable to set up and launch a blog, good and effective blogging requires a lot of work. From the best approach to deal with comments to practical tips on search engine optimization, promotion and writing, this presentation will help you make the best out of your blog(s).
Whether you are already a blogger or plan to launch a blog soon, you will learn how to avoid common pitfalls and achieve blogging bliss by applying a 12-step program developed by the presenter – a higher ed blogger – for higher ed bloggers.
If you want me to address anything specific in this session, email me at karine@collegewebeditor.com or post a comment.
Last but not least, I’m still looking for guest bloggers to help cover the conference. I’ll be doing some blogging of my own, but I just have 2 hands, so your help will definitely be appreciated this year again.
So, why not consider guest blogging HighEdWebDev 2007 for this blog — i.e. email me detailed notes of one or two (or more) presentations you attend?
Interested? Please email me at karine@collegewebeditor.com, so I have an idea of which sessions will be blogged.
