The Web site for the Sixth Institutional Web Management Workshop, which
will be held at the University of Strathclyde on 18-20 June 2002, is now
available at
<http://www.ukoln.ac.uk/web-focus/events/workshops/webmaster-2002/>.
This year's workshop builds on the successes of previous events. This
year's theme is "The Pervasive Web" and will address a range of topics
of concern to Web managers, ranging from strategic and management
issues, implementation issues based on case studies as well as a number
of technical areas.
The workshop will be of interest to people who are involved in running
institutional Web services, including IT and Web Strategy managers,
content managers, designers, software developers, information
specialists, support staff, etc.
The workshop will last for 2.5 days. The first two days will begin with
a Keynote Plenary Talk which will provide an insight into national and
international developments. Other plenary presentations will provide
case studies on institutional developments including development of
personalised portals, approaches to usability testing and design, the
development of a radical Web strategy, the implementation of commercial
Web-based MIS applications to support teaching in a large FE/HE
institution and an examination of centralised and decentralised
strategies for Web management and development, together with an outline
of the implications of new disability legislation.
As always the workshop will provide a number of parallel sessions, which
will provide an opportunity for participants to contribute actively on
topics of interest to them. Parallel sessions cover topics such as e-
strategy, accessibility, usability, Web site redevelopment, quality
assurance, usability of portals, advertising on Web sites, legal issues,
panoramic Web sites, dynamic Web sites, XML, authentication, metadata
and e-prints.
There will also be a number of briefing sessions, including ones on
Interoperability and Learning Standards and Web Standards.
New features at this year's workshop include a panel session on
"Avoiding Portal Wars" and a debate on open source software.
The workshop costs 325 pounds, which includes attendance at the
workshop, workshop materials, the socials events and 3 night's
accommodation. The workshop is suitable for all those involved in
managing and supporting institutional Web services, including managerial
staff and Web developers - the parallel sessions will enable
participants to follow their interests, whether that is managerial,
technical or both.
