Higher Ed Experts

This was my first time attending the conference but it is one I will take part in each year. It has provided so much useful information and I look forward to implementing some of these ideas at my institution.

What I like most about this course is the interaction with others form the higher ed field. Even though I’m based in Australia, I got to interact with people from the USA and Egypt and learn from their experience and ideas.

I recommend this course for anyone who writes web content, whether a newbie or a veteran. Each component of the course imparts valuable information on how and why web writing should be done properly.

I’ve been a news and web writer for a long time, but I still learned numerous lessons and tips that will help me improve. The modules on keywords, search engine optimization and personas were particularly useful. Because of this course, I feel like I’m much better suited to not only produce better web content for my university, but also to help the content providers in other departments to maintain a consistent message, voice and style.

Overall the online conference was very useful and insightful–very convenient to be able to login remotely to access the wealth of information.
