    About

    HigherEd BlogCon 2006 seeks to engage the Higher Education community in a conversation on the use of blogs, wikis, RSS, audio and video podcasts, social networks, and other digital tools in a range of areas in academe.

    Modelled after Global PR Blog Week 2.0, HigherEd BlogCon 2006 will be held online, on this weblog, from April 3 to April 28, 2006.

    During this year’s month-long event, participants from more than 30 institutions will publish articles, podcasts, and screencasts sharing their findings and experiences using these new technologies and inviting your participation through comments and questions.

    All presentations will be made available on this website at no charge (with the exception of the live, web/audio CASE Online Speaker Series events).

    This event has been organized by a highly talented and enthusiastic team of individuals representing a variety of institutions and organizations.

    The planning of this event, including the collection and review of proposals for presentation, was conducted on the HigherEd BlogCon wiki, which was developed exclusively for this purpose.
