Webco Meeting 21.06

Just beeing back from the web coordinator meeting where all with the same lable as I come together and disucss "online thingiieess.." under the supervision of Manon.

The personal profile pages deadline is now February 2012. The initial proposal presented by Tim Smith on January 4, 2011 is still the valid one. In the meanwhile we will utilize the Department of Finance application and extend its use to all other faculties of the school. In a recent email from Matthew he states the reasons for a university solution as follows:

"I understand your recommendation regarding other service providers. However, I strongly believe that people (including myself) find sites hosted by the university institution more credible and their first port of call for academics‘ information on the web."

A centralized solution for future Google Analytics reports are also discussed. The marketing department will recieve a detailed report every month as do programm coordinators. What kind of information they want is up for debate here! Any suggestions please send an email to me (webc-sbe@maastrichtuniversity.nl)

The faculty of Law is proactive and has a slick web appearance. The trick is to use less text and more videos. T36 is responsible for the videos and add value to otherwise often confusing texts. The webvideo initiative with Brightcover at the centre is not used by SBE at all. So here is a call to everybody who has videos to bring them to me (B-1.10) on a disk or USB stick. The upload and distribution will be taken care of by a student web editor on central level. Please let me know if you have any videos.

Finalizing SBE's online evaluation report is my main job these days. I hope to finish it this week. It will be published as by the end of this month exclusively here. :)

Another call is out there to send in information about SBE faculty members who are in some European Union expert panel or otherwise related group. One strategic aim of SBE is to increase the presence of SBE faculty members in the press. And with the help of the EJC there is a good chance that we might succeed.
