Isn’t it time to update @Instagram Community Guidelines about “regramming” photos?

November 7th, 2014 Karine Joly 10 Comments

Has “Conference Santa” forgotten members of your team this year? I know it’s a bit early to talk about Santa while we haven’t even splurged on Halloween candies yet, but I know for a fact that not everybody gets to go to a conference every year. Whether it’s for budget reasons, lack of time or […]

Higher ed web analytics benchmarking & me: a long (love) story Since 2010 I’ve developed an unhealthy interest in anything related to the use of web analytics in higher education (long before we actually launched Higher Ed Experts’ 4-week online course on Web Analytics for Higher Ed) including several surveys on how you use Web […]

Forgot yor password(s)? Authentication and identification of active campus network users have always been at the core of the IT applications necessary to run a university. If you can’t log in, you can’t get your email, register for your course, pay your bills, etc. You feel helpless. That’s why most institutions have strived to offer […]

Redesign Season Summer is the season of special projects in higher education.

Can you believe it? I can’t make it to the #PSEWeb conference this year even though it’s only 1-hour away (by plane) this year. My parents are in town next week — and since they come from Europe, they have priority. I spent several hours in a plane last year just to attend this conference […]

June 24th, 2014 Karine Joly 10 Comments

Graduation: that’s why they all sign up for, right? Most institutions of higher education have focused on the college experience and the associated value they provide to students in their recruitment and branding efforts. For traditional college-aged students, it makes sense to sell the experience: the beautiful campus, the state-of-the-art gym, the campus life, the […]

Bob Johnson and Gerry McGovern vs. Bucknell.edu I dont know about you, but when 2 consultants working in higher education, Bob Johnson and Gerry McGovern, take the time to publish 3 different posts on what’s wrong with the redesigned website of an institution AND Mark Greenfield tweets about it, it gets my attention.
