EDUCAUSE BLOG GUIDELINES
Share and Discuss Conference Content via EDUCAUSE Connect
Committee members and attendees are encouraged to share conference content and begin related discussion via a blog on EDUCAUSE Connect. (connect.educause.edu)
Each person will have their own style for taking notes for this activity. We encourage you to capture key points and lessons learned and to annotate, as appropriate, perspectives, resources, and Q&A.
Establish your blog on Connect – select Create Content: Blog Entry
1) Select Blog for the submission tool.
Items you will need to complete include:
· Title: The title should be fairly short and self-explanatory.
· Content: Include conference and presentation information so readers know where, when, and by whom the presentation was given as well as your notes and comments. If the presenter’s slides have been posted to the conference proceedings you should include the URL. You may also wish to reference EDUCAUSE resources in the topic area by adding additional URLs.
· How: It’s easiest to prepare in your own word processing software and then do a copy/paste into the form. The tool, however, allows you to format text as well.
· Additional options: Layout and data tables may be inserted, as well as photos and other graphics. Please compress and resize photos for Web display before attempting to add them. You may also add attachments.
· Tags: Please add the event tag (EDUCAUSE_ENT08) as well as key topics. Note that a list of previously submitted tags will pop up while you are typing in your subjects. It’s easy to select appropriate tags that are already in the system but do not hesitate to add another if it is more descriptive of your content.
2) Preview your blog entry before submitting and make necessary changes before submitting.
3) Submit - (double-check that it actually displays as you intended)
The Wiki option is available as well and can be especially useful for resource lists.
