Putting IWMW2009 into action

I am not alone in being fired up the by plenaries, parallels and general fervour(?) that the Institutional Web Management Workshop inspires.
My first act towards devil may care guerilla HE web improvement begins today, as I re-present – to members of our Marketing Team – some of the main concepts discussed by Michael Smethurst and Matthew Wood from BBC Music in their plenary on how they make websites.

My audience has been primed with the knowledge that they don’t start with wireframes and Photoshop mock-ups, so there’ll be plenty to talk about. This will hopefully inform an upcoming reworking of our student centred web provision. I’m also arming myself with Mr Boag‘s Making your killer applications… killer! slides – covering everything from Desktop convergence to thinking in apps, not pages, and the challenges of bringing these methods into the HE web.
