Higher education

Online activities in Higher Education are evolving rapidly. With many well-educated and engaged stakeholders online projects tend to become quite ‘political’. Add to this the need for communicating with multiple very different target groups: potential/existing students, staff, the public, academics. Internally there is also a growing need for sharing many different types of knowledge. Besides all this there is always a large online information corpus that needs to be managed.

The overall theme for the track is to address challenges particular to the Higher Education area and share best practices.
