This search has been halted till August, when it will begin again with a new (and hopefully improved) job description.
Oh wow, you're right. They still have an H1 and an H3 that mention Denver Seminary by name. I guess it's too much to expect thieves to not be sloppy.
And I was using "you" in "your work" in the collective sense. :)
Officially, my cut off is 2%. But I test in Safari and Opera and those are both well below 2% for us. Most on campus computers are still running IE6. In the redesign I'm working on, IE6 gets a lot of the bells and whistles hidden from it, so that'...
I've admired your work since I first saw it on EduStyle. But there's a big thick line between looking for inspiration and straight up theft. I've seen plenty of clone sites in higher ed, but this is a blatant example. Unfortunately, I'm not findin...
By title, this is an Associate Professor position. By responsibility, it's a program director position. "Essential Functions" include:
"The successful candidate will direct the Web Design program and advise its majors, teach courses within its cu...
This is a lot like the model I experienced at Tennessee Technological University. The "lab" you speak of was unofficially affiliated. It was the Technology Institute. We handled faculty training and support; special projects related to grants; and...
Sadly, the bit about the need for critical thinking and what not I would be inclined to agree with, had the first paragraph not made such a terrible first impression with me. :(

I agree with Nathan - you do not want flash in your HTML email. You can have the HTML email look like the start of a movie.. or whatever graphics you want in there.. but when clicked - the user should be taken to a web site where a full web browse...
Todd Sanders from the University of Wisconsin - Green Bay, provides this job description.

How are you looking to point users to the Flash file? I don't know the most recent stats on Flash visibility through email clients but I remember in the past the argument was against sending a pure Flash file through email. Instead the suggestion ...
We recently tested Joomla vs. Drupal and arrived at some of the same conclusions as previous posters. In the end, with as large as we need the site to be, we settled on Drupal. It has yet to be seen if we've made the right decision. I'll get back ...
It's not for our school, but it is a pretty decent description of a social media intern position:

We're planning on sending out a Flash-based Christrmas greeting via email. I'm wondering what maximum file size we should be aiming for. (i.e.
We're working on this with a school right now. I'll share what we end up at!
If you plan to attend the 2009 Symposium for Marketing of Higher Education being hosted next week by the American Marketing Association in Boston, please stop by and hear Lance Merker, CEO of OmniUpdate, discuss student expectations about the coll...
Here was mine (with a hearty assist from Jessica Krywosa of Suffolk University):
This position will allow a student the opportunity to help shape and promote online and social media community experiences for the college. The social media intern s...
I do all 'main university' type postings in FB and Twitter and act as the 'voice' of the accounts adding personal touches here and there, such as personal questions or greetings.
Our strategy includes adding admins from various parts of the unive...
I dont know if its served me well - its only been a few months - but I have only a short descriptive 'graph that I used.
This position allows a student the ability to help promote and shape the university online community experience. By providing...
As I review admissions pages and applications, I've discovered there are few admissions pages that have an easy to find call to action to apply. The norm seems to be scanning a lot of text to find the "to apply" choice.
John,
Not sure if you've seen this already, but check out Common Admissions Application. Looks like a number of higher ed schools across the country use it.
Justin, just got through with an OmniUpdate CMS demo. The application is unbelievable. It is awesome. If we had the money we would right the check right there. What is cool about the company is they are trying to work with us. I think that this sp...
Sam, beside Joomla I have used DotNetNuke also and I have experienced the same type of issues with DNN. Installation. I have had huge issues and a lot of wasted time trying to install DNN and trying to get it up and running. Once I have it install...
I need a new calender of events type software. Right now we were using the open source vtcalender system until it broke. This system has been nothing but problems. The previous web designers were the ones that put this calender system into use. Wh...
I sent them an email looking for a baseline cost but have not heard back from them yet.
We are currently debating whether or not this is an in-house project.
Though I'm more prone to go with the vendor if they offer extensibility we don't have t...
