Sorry for my light blogging, but I have been working on a few projects lately… and something had to give. One of these projects is a feature-long article for the August issue of University Business (it’s due June 1st – it’s a magazine, not a blog ;-) about email outsourcing in higher education.

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 […]

The first session I attended this morning was presented by Karen M. Hackett and Jim Leous from Penn State University.

A good primer about crisis communications 2.0 you can print
September isn’t over yet, but the month has already seen 2 shooting-related crises: Yesterday at St. John’s University in Queens, NY (the campus was locked down after a masked gunman was found on campus) Last Friday, 2 students were shot at Delaware 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 […]
