In preparation for HighEdWeb 2009, we’re introducing a bit about each of the program tracks, as narrated straight from the track chairs.
Today’s featured track: Applications & Standards (abbreviated as “APS” in the conference materials).
Meet the APS Track Chairs
- Shelley Keith: Shelley is Web Site Coordinator at Southern Arkansas University. This is her fourth HighEdWeb, and her third time on the Program Committee. In web development since 1994 and higher ed since 2004, Shelley is a crackberry evangelist, MMORPG addict, pitbull advocate, chronic over-Tweeter, and has given up any hope of ever getting her office organized. Be sure to follow Shelley on Twitter: @shelleykeith
- Glenn E. Donaldson Jr.: Glenn is SIS Integration Director & Associate Director – AD&S at The Ohio State University. He was involved with WebDev @ Indiana since 1997, and has been with HighEdWeb since the merging of the two conferences. Glenn has been a track chair on the program committee (and in this particular track) for 7-8 years, and has been with The Ohio State University full-time for 15 years. He loves to sing, dance, and have a fun time – as committee members, past attendees and photos on Flickr can attest!
Tell Us A Little About the APS Track
Applications and Standards will cover topics ranging from using Moodle to Section 508 to connecting with students and benefitting from those interactions. If you’re interested in CMS options be sure to catch APS 3, Implementing Reason CMS with Small Teams & Small Budgets.
Why Should Attendees Come to Your Track’s Sessions?
We’re more technical than those marketing and social networking folks, without all the propeller hat requirement of TPS (Technical: Propeller Hats Required).
Anything Special You Want Attendees to Know About Your Track?
We’re a great track for the Lone-Ranger Web professional, the hands-on non-programming site manager, and those who are expected to come up with great ideas. Also, there will be candy, and maybe a cool chachka giveaway … or two.
A Note from Glenn
This is my first year at #heweb without my partner in crime Jim Gorman (University at Buffalo). I’ll certainly miss him but I warmly welcome Shelley to the track and know she will continue the fun times with me.
