We have three new sites highlighted on our Showcase page today! Congratulations to:

• Educational Neuroscience PhD Specialization Program (Dr. Firat Soylu)
  
• Mohammad Firouz, Graduate Student
  
• Lesley Jo Weaver, Assistant Professor

Mohammad’s is the first graduate student website we have showcased!  We’ve had many graduate students start working on their professional websites, but only a few have actually published theirs. I encourage faculty to help your graduate students understand the importance of an online presence and help them develop their sites.

We love to show off great websites! Will yours be next?  

Visit the Showcase!

I had the wonderful opportunity of presenting People.ua.edu to the Nursing Faculty Organization meeting on March 9th.  There were approximately 40 members and guests in the room, as well as a few members joining online. This short, 10 minute presentation, included a user statistics and a visit to a two sample sites. In the final few minutes, I opened a blank website and demonstrated just how easy it is to drag and drop various elements onto the page.  No coding skills required!  Many thanks to the entire group for the invitation!

I am proud that UA administration provides People.ua.edu as a service for its faculty and graduate students. It’s a fantastic way of displaying their professional background, expertise and activities.  Currently, there are over 160 live People.ua.edu websites with the majority coming from the Department of Psychology, the College of Human and Environmental Sciences, and the College of Education.

Karen Silliman, Director of Technology and Distance Education in the College of  Nursing has kindly agreed to provide a client opinion if you have questions about our quality of  service or People.ua.edu’s ease of use. Do you have a People.ua.edu website? If not, request one today! 

I look forward to helping you create a great website!
