I'll second ALL of Chris Wiegman's comments. At SUNY Fredonia, we use MediaWiki, WordPress (plain WP, not MU, but that may change if we get a little more momentum with WP blogs) and Drupal 6.
We identified some attractive OSS WCM products with so...
Indeed, I now see the Higher Ed Wave.
Google Wave:
Fancy like magic. Smooth like butter.
Mark, my Google Wave account is actually: jwoolson at googlewave.com
Google Wave account: jwoolson (at) gmail.com
I'd love to connect with folks about the application of Google Wave to higher ed web needs: LMS/CMS, replacing student wikis, academic blog integration, student governance, etc.
Our initial research s...
1. We have http://fontbonneblogs.wordpress.com/ currently, but I am planning to install multi-user WP on our domain and host this on our own servers very soon (probably either blog.fontbonne.edu). We are also going to be implementing WordPress as ...
Hey there! We went through the same things at our college, here's what we did:
1. We don't have an admissions blog, we do have an open blog for our student interns though. They are allowed to post anything and everything, at least 1 post a week i...
These are many large questions that must be answered for each university determined by its culture and administration, but here is my take. Our university has had student blogs since 2004 and I've been managing them since 2007.
1. Our url is http...

- We've compiled some info you may find helpful in a report on web strategy/CMS/WCM/ECM in a PDF at http://bit.ly/2009webreport
We have little in the way of CMS policy in place right now, but are planning to address that within the next year.
I'd be happy to take your survey, too, over lunch today.

Rebecca Bernstein said… - Hi Jon,
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,
Rebecca Bernstein

Sorry for my delayed reply, Justin (I was able to sneak away from work for a week). Please feel free to email me direct ( deanw@clackamas.edu ); maybe we could set up a conference call to help answer some of your questions.
We use LiveZilla. It's free and outperforms the software we were paying $$$$ thousands per month for licenses. We have 30+ admissions advisors available for chats from about 8am-8pm. You can set up different departments and it will look up if some...
Thanks everyone for your feedback -- I really appreciate it, and there is a lot to think about. Please keep it coming!
Here's what I've been feeling, just to chime in. Our Facebook presence isn't used specifically for alumni or students or recrui...
Hi All - I know this has been asked multiple times before, but with the ever changing world of web dev, I'll try it again. We're in the process of re-designing and everytime we think we've got it, someone (at a deans level) wants something differe...
What's the PC's memory and processor. I've done a few flash slideshows on a PC and noticed the same results on older PC's but played fine on mine and all "newer"ones.
If you have access to several PC's, check them on those in various browsers. Nev...
I agree with DJ. Our school is similar- small, tight knit, close community. Our audience is by far mostly students and alumni. So last year when a beloved professor died suddenly, I did post it to Facebook.
This may be semantics or whatever, but ...
Hello,
I am designing a Holiday card for the college. It is a Holiday slideshow built in Flash. It looks fine on my Mac but when I play it on my PC it becomes choppy - almost a ripple effect.
Does any have any pointers or tips?
Any help would b...
I even did a Google Wave search by creator:mark.a.greenfield@gmail.com and NO LUCK.
Mark, I final got an invite and hooked up but I cannot find the "Google Wave in Higher Education" wave. Whenever I try and search for this particular wave I get "no results..". Please direct me in finding the correct wave as whenever I search just...
These kinds of conversations can help define what we consider news and whether Facebook is the right place to deliver news--as opposed to the university's home page.
Brenden's post refers to "news-ish" items, and I too find myself grappling with ...

Does anyone have a custom web page for mobile users? If so, did your University develop the page internall or did you farm out development to a third party? I am investigating solutions to create a mobile-friendly page at a reasonable cost.
I agree 100%.

Mark, I got my Google Wave invite. How do I find your Wave. I did a search for Google Wave In Higher Education and the search results come back no results found. Does anyone else have Wave I can follow?
It seems to me a lot of it depends on who your fans are (the mantra of one of my marketing mentors keeps coming back to me: "Know your audience").
We are a graduate level seminary, and all but a few of our fans are students and alumni. If news (g...
