Guardian readers on this list may well have already seen the article in
today's Education Guardian supplement on "Time to get with the program?"
which contains some comments from me on how the HE sector is engaging with
the social Web:
http://www.guardian.co.uk/education/2009/may/12/computer-science-it
which was published to coincide with the launch of the Committee of Inquiry
into the Changing Learner Experience final report on "Higher Education in a
Web 2.0 World":

The Guardian's University Guide also has an article on the front page on
"Tweet and lowdown":

All very relevant for members of institutional Web management teams, I
think. I've written my thoughts on this:

ld-report-published/
I'll be going to the Garden Room, Barbican Centre for the official launch of
the report - see

Anyone else planning to be there?
Note, although the talks and workshops sessions for this year's IWMW 2009
(http://iwmw.ukoln.ac.uk/iwmw2009/) have been finalised there will be an
opportunity for informal bar camp sessions. Perhaps this would provide an
opportunity to hear how institutions are engaging with the recommendations
of this report
