Hi Mark...it may be too late to add to this discussion, but another alternative you may want to consider is umbraco. It's an open source .NET CMS. It is very flexible and is adept at integrating .NET controls. I'm not usually impressed with many ....
In the spirit of Mark's post yesterday, does anybody know of a comprehensive study of content management issues in higher education. I found the UC-Davis study conducted 2 years ago (http://cms.ucdavis.edu/cmssurvey/index.php), but wanted to see i...

- Since you are in the CMS group, I was hoping you could advise me. UB is setting up a university-wide content management system and we are exploring what best practices other universities are doing. In particular, we are trying to identify universities that are:
* Using a CMS enterprise wide, or with several departments
* Have governance or policies in place
* Have a form of centralized staffing
* And hopefully are encouraging best practices in content and user experience.
If you can take the brief survey at https://vovici.com/wsb.dll/s/8727g3fd23 (no longer than 2-5 minutes) it would help us gather preliminary information that will assist us in our initial phase of research. If you know of someone in your organization better suited to fill this out, please feel free to pass this along.
We are looking for initial responses by Thursday, October 15th.
If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact me or my assistant Kyriakos Zannikos (716-645-4652 or zannikos@buffalo.edu)
Thanks in advance,

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...

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:

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...
