September 18th, 2008 Karine Joly 2 Comments

HighEdWeb 2008 will take place on October 5-8 in Springfield MO. Unfortunately, I’m not going this year.

April 2nd, 2008 Karine Joly 6 Comments

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 […]

February 28th, 2008 Karine Joly No Comments

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.

As regular readers know, I design and schedule several webinar series per year for Higher Ed Experts.

And, I do […]

And, this year it’s all going to be about measurement and assessment as explained in the official announcement about the conference: While very few documented […]

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 […]
