Thanks to Cathy Derecki’s design/PHP skills we are currently experimenting with the possibility of using WPMu to allow faculty to create their own website/blog space with relative ease. Currently faculty and staff have a public folder as a part of their network space that will allow them to include basic HTML, it doesn’t allow [...]

I can’t begin to tell you how deeply I respect the intellectual generosity of D’Arcy Norman. Presenting with him at the Open Ed 2007 conference at Utah State University was an absolute honor and pleasure. He’s already done a nice job re-capping his portion of the session which was much more coherent than he suggests [...]
I’m on a roll baby, somebody stop me! Woooho…

Núñez Molina, a professor at the University of Puerto Rico, Mayagüez Campus, who has been also working on integrating a WPMu blogging solution (RUM Edublogs) for the College of Arts and Sciences. He is also blogging the process, so it looks like I have yet [...]

Published by June 29th, 2007 in wordpress multi-user. 11 CommentsWell, maybe not eternity, but certainly beyond graduation!
Mike Caulfield, my new favorite blogger, has been talking about the value of having students work with a web-based authoring platform that they can actually use after they graduate:
