HighEdWeb 2008 will take place on October 5-8 in Springfield MO. Unfortunately, I’m not going this year. I haven’t placed a call for guest bloggers as I did in the past, because many higher ed bloggers/twitterers are scheduled to make the trip. However, if some of you would like to take this opportunity to publish […]

Top higher ed conferences and events for the remaining of 2008
Some of you might know it already, but I’ve been maintaining the calendar of higher ed conferences and events for a few months now. It’s a Google calendar that I update on a regular basis. A quick glance at the rest of 2008 on this calendar has revealed many interesting events, so I thought I […]
1-1-1 Express Book Review – “Presentation Zen: Simple Ideas on Presentation Design and Delivery” by Garr Reynolds
A quick look at the calendar of Higher Ed Conferences and Events I maintain, and you know it’s conference time.

The State of Higher Ed Podcasting in the US: Thoughts, links and a recording
I had a very interesting experience this morning presenting a session about higher ed podcasting in the US to a room full of people at the University of Warwick in the UK. No long flight or dreadful jet lag required (but no nice sightseeing in the UK either :-). I did my presentation using WebEx […]
HighEdWeb 2008: Check out the redesigned conference website and submit your presentation proposal
I’ve just found out that the newly redesigned website – a design signed Jim Welch, an Admissions Counselor for Missouri State University – of the HighEdWeb conference is now live: This design was the winning entry of the contest launched to replace the old coffee mug theme. That’s definitely a BIG change, don’t you think? […]

I’ve already mentioned that my summer plans include a trip to Atlantic City, NJ this year as I’m scheduled to give the closing keynote presentation at the eduWeb conference (so, if you plan to attend, make sure you don’t leave early — pretty please ;-) Conference director Shelley Wetzel asked me to remind you all […]
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 […]
Portal 2008 at Gettysburg College: Mark your calendar and submit a proposal
I meant to write about this conference earlier this month, but things have really been crazy. The Portal 2008 Conference will take place at Gettysburg College on June 3-6, 2008.

HighEdWeb 2008: Save the date and design the website!
If you a regular reader, you already know that the 2008 edition of the HighEdWeb conference will take place at Missouri State University in Springfield (MO) on October 5-8. However, what you might not know yet is that you’ll soon get a chance to (re)design the conference website. Back in October, I emailed the conference […]
HighEdWebDev 2007: That’s a wrap!
What a great conference! This was the first time I managed to attend (and present at) HighEdWebDev in Rochester, and this was really time and money well spent. The organizers did a great job at planning and organizing the whole event (although a lapel microphone would have been a great addition for the “soft-spoken” presenters […]
Almost Live from HigherEdWebDev 2007: Use WordPress as a Mini-CMS in Your Next Project
The conference is now over, but Dimitri, one of this year’s guest bloggers has sent a few more posts about interesting sessions including this presentation about WordPress. Drew Geraets and Thomas Knoll wanted something lightweight, flexible, and easy to implement when they ventured on building their new site. Their CMS was bulky and not friendly […]
