Online Newsletters Re-Imagined

Interesting thought. Blogging software (WordPress, Blogger, etc) are viable sources for re-imagining the current use of online Newsletter. At present, we have a database driven, extremely simple and non-interactive format.

The idea is, if we utilize something like Wordpress, not only are we able to give departments the ability to create a unique experience, but we include the Web 2.0 feature of user feedback to gauge the effectiveness of the article AND promote the brand by allowing users to have a say in the development of the school's image.

eduWEB Impact

My team and I are attending the eduWEB Conference. We're gathering a lot of ideas and information about effective design practices and positive brand impact methodology. I can't wait to share these ideas with the committee and implement them in the foundation design of Version 7. I'll share these insights at intervals and look forward to active discussion on each.

Facebook Group Created

Some of this stuff is still new to me in terms of coordinating multiple points of information so please bear with me as you witness my baby steps. At any rate, I've created a group on Facebook - feel free to "Like" or "join" the group. It has the same name "Coppin Web Project". I'm open to suggestions to make this smoother.

And it begins...

Coppin State University is constructing a new website to achieve a world class presence on the internet that will attract prospective students and provide a platform for distributing its information. This is the 7th version since the college (now a University) went live on the internet around 1992.

Get updates, timelines, and other pertinent information as they become available and view ongoing discussions on the various elements of the project as it evolves. Your responsible participation will assist in greatly in its development.
