Wedding Photography is a tough business. You collaborate with people who are expecting to see passion and love reflected in your work, people who want to see every precious moment captured beautifully. There are no do-overs on wedding day, and the pressure can be enormous. Kate Williams, who works primarily a wedding photographer but also does stunning portraiture, […]

Setting up your site on platforms such as Squarespace, Wix, and Weebly have their benefits – but they’re not necessarily set up for selling your work online. To do that, you’ll have to turn to a more powerful combination of tools. Setting up a subdomain to run an online store may seem like reinventing the […]

Dr Tony McDonald is TLTP officer at the Faculty of Medicine Computing Centre in the Medical School at the University of Newcastle. In this position he has been involved in the development and implementation of the Networked Learning Environment and its deployment at the consortium sites. Whilst developing this system, a lot of additional work was done on XML. Before joining the FMCC, Tony worked at Netskills on the DESIRE project and, further back, was the Macintosh systems advisor at the University of Newcastle Computing Service. His current interests are in website communication (XML-RPC and SOAP) and in 'shipping' the NLE out to as many sites as want it.

The JISC Service and Vendor Presentations session will be an open session, and not restricted just to registered delegates. Feel free to mention this session to your colleagues.

One year on and we are still scratching our heads, trying to work out just what we need a Social Networking Policy to cover, why we need it, and exactly who it needs to protect. Social Networking presents lots of opportunities in the areas of teaching and learning, student recruitment, alumni relations and collaboration, as well as exposing the University to a variety of risks and new challenges. This session will explore the risks and opportunities we are faced with, and will try to establish some of the issues we need to safeguard against. It may even provide some answers for institutions who are still thinking about creating a policy, just starting the process, or those burying their heads in the sand...a bit like some senior management! The session was facilitated by Debbie Nicholson and Keith Brooke University of Essex.

This session will go on a whistlestop tour of some of the new developments made for the March 2008 relaunch of Edge Hill's corporate Web site. See what a small, centralised Web team can deliver without a 1 million pound CMS! More buzzwords than you can shake a stick at and not afraid to get technical. The session was facilitated by Mike Nolan, Edge Hill University.

Keith Doyle, Salford University explains that the aim of information architecture is to improve the information ecology which is made up of the interaction between users, content and context. What is the process and methodology required to develop an information architecture? What are the key tools and enabling services which are required to implement information architecture? How is this process evolving at Salford? There will be a chance to look at the information architecture of institutional web sites, tips for improving the design of sub-sites, and we will look at and discuss real world examples.

Debbie Nicholson, Web Support Officer, Web Support Unit, University of Essex will investigate the ways in which web-based resources can be used to develop and support WP initiatives and how these could be transferred to other areas within the Institution.

Diane McDonald is a senior member of the PREDICT Research Group, part of the Information Strategy Directorate of the University of Strathclyde. Her current major interests are in the e-business area. She has responsibility for the development of a Managed Learning Environment, general WWW strategy and ITC security policy & strategy within the University. She is also responsible for the development of the demonstration and dissemination facilities for the West of Scotland based e-institute, of which the University is the senior partner. She was previously the Network Manager for the University.

Alison Wildish has written a guest blog post for Brian Kelly's "UK Web Focus: Reflections On The Web" blog [2007-06-01]

Alison Wildish, Head of Web Services, Edge Hill University will talk about how Students are asking each other for help and advice rather than coming direct to our staff. These same students are advising our applicant community about University life and they're all doing it in an "informal" environment. These are all positive developments but it does mean we start to ask the question... if we're moving towards developing and nurturing students in these online communities and empowering them to help themselves, will we still need a "corporate" Web site in the future? Furthermore with the increase in "free" tools available such as email, file storage, blogs etc. - will Institutional systems be a thing of the past?

Steven Warburton will discuss how the notion of community continues to be recognised as a fundamental aspect within descriptions of shared human activity and group bonding. In his socio-cultural analysis of the work place Wenger defined a particular type of communion, which he termed a community of practice (CoP). The concept of a CoP has been somewhat abused in current literature yet it does provide valuable insights into how communities evolve, behave and sustain themselves. By elaborating dimensions of community such as shared practice, dialogue, legitimate peripheral participation and negotiation of boundaries, Wenger has provided a model that can be applied to a number of differing groups of activity. This talk will explore what we can draw from the work on CoPs, in terms of the role and identity of institutional web manager, one that is inseparable from a field of practice that remains dynamic, fluid and under constant negotiation.

Debbie Nicholson, Web Support Officer, University of Essex will show how putting quality measures in place can prevent getting a brief for a Web design job that reads "not blue, a bit random, and not too Scottish". Don't laugh, this actually happened! This hands on session will get participants thinking about how they can introduce quality assurance procedures within the web design process. It will cover establishing a 'quality loop', creating measurable standards and will introduce ways to enable clients to be better informed about what they want from their new Web site.

David Burden, Managing Director, DADENLIMITED and Marieke Guy, UKOLN will consider questions like: Can chatbots make sites more accessible or do they break fundamental usability rules? Do users like them, or find them irritating or even patronising? Are they the next best thing or a 5 minute wonder? Can they really benefit the education sector? Can a chatbot ever really learn?

Randy Metcalfe, OSS Watch and Brian Kelly, UKOLN gave a plenary on openess and the Web manager. Openness appears to be all the rage: open standards for interoperability, open source for software development and deployment, and open content for sharing knowledge. What brings these phenomena together is a commitment to openness. But how do colleges and universities engage with openness? And more particularly, what does it mean for institutional Web managers.

Kate Forbes-Pitt, Systems Manager, Web Services, London School of Economics will talk about aims aims to problematise the document, asking the following questions: what is a document? How does it impart information to its reader? Can it be replicated on screen? It proposes answers using the arguments of Hughes and King (1993) who contend that the document is a layered social artifact that exists to 'wrap' content. This 'wrapping' provides the reader with the knowledge they need in order to apply social rules to their reading of the document, and so become able to interpret its content. Some information systems writers argue that the need for social knowledge in a task negates the possibility of its automation. Following the logic of this argument, delivering a document (a container of rule) through the existing set of social rules that govern Web interaction, means that the full function of the electronically reproduced document becomes masked or confused. At best this makes the role of the document superfluous to its content, making the content difficult to interpret. At worst it makes the content incomprehensible to the user. This raises a further question: what purpose is served by reproducing documents online? Following from the above arguments, it is possible to argue that 'pure' content, rather than the imitation of printed paper, is likely to be a more successful way of imparting information through the Web.
