Over the past three weeks, we’ve had an opportunity to take a look at how new web technologies are impacting libraries, teaching and marketing in higher education. It’s been very imformative, and I hope that you’ve taken away as many good ideas and brainstorms as I have.

For this week of HigherEd BlogCon, we’ll take a closer look at the technology powering these new tools and examine the development and implementation process for bringing institutions into the 2.0 era. It’s a diverse set of topics, ranging from the nuts and bolts of podcasts to a session covering one of the hottest development tools, Ruby on Rails.

I’d like to take a moment to thank this week’s presenters. They have created some veryinteresting content and presentations. I’d also like to thank Karine Joly and Rob Pongsajapan for their help in coming up with a plan and theme for this week.
