I’ve been thinking about this for a while now: How can we manage to keep up with all the amazing content and interesting conversations taking place in so many higher ed websites and blogs? I tried the catch-up-date post a few weeks ago on this blog, but realized quickly they were also drawn in the […]

eduStyle/Uwebd/Higher Ed Experts/Collegewebeditor.com Survey: Answer a few questions and get a chance to win one of 6 cool prizes
Mark Greenfield, the driving force of the Uwebd social networking website, Stewart Foss, the owner of eduStyle and myself (I’m the Higher Ed Experts/Collegewebeditor.com person) have been working on a very special community initiative. Instead of polling our respective members in our own little corners of the Web, we agreed to launch a grouped survey […]
Higher Ed TV: Blue has no clue where the 2 missing Butler mascot costumes are
No, it’s not another episode of the famous kid show Blue’s Clues, but it could be. Butler Blue 2 is the official and furry mascot of Butler University (as all you sports fans probably know) According to Blue’s blog (yeah, I know, dog blogs aren’t that common, but this puppy even got a greater-than-life statue […]
Looking for a new job in higher ed? Receive the latest job postings via Twitter, RSS, Email and the Web
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, […]
OSU’s new homepage includes a tag cloud for most popular links
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 […]
Are you hiring? Post your higher ed job ad for free at www.higheredexperts.com/jobs
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 […]
Introducing collegewebeditor.com’s Higher Ed Conference and Events Calendar
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 […]
From outsourcing email to outsourcing IT?
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 […]
Let’s Build an Online Gallery of Crisis/Emergency “Lite” Web Page Templates for Higher Ed
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 […]
eduStyle will keep you updated about the state of higher ed web (re)designs
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 […]
Joost: another delivery channel for the videos produced at your institution?
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 […]
How to put SecondLife to good use: plan and run emergency drills on your virtual campus
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 […]
Not enough budget to run an ad campaign on TV? Google pay-per-view video ads might be the answer
I’m currently working on a Google Ad campaign for my institution. The last Google ad campaign for the college’s adult education programs was run in 2005. It was really successful for some programs (accelerated certification for teachers), less for others. As a result, it has been a while since I spend some quality time in […]
