I am sorry to say that my last comment was erased from this blog. Apparently this is due to an error in the program that erratically deletes entries, without any reasons or explanations, and without leaving a trace.\r\nIf this is a preview of the Portal, we are not looking good. \r\n\r\nIt will be nice if some blogger with technical expertise is able to come up with a reasonable explanation to this mystery. Meanwhile, we can not continue to pretend that we can move forward.

It is apparent to me that we have a fascination with rectangles, squares and orange and purple empty boxes. How about we redesign this blog completely, making it more inviting? As a suggestion see this one http://threesixty360.wordpress.com/

DB - Great idea. I'll make sure the link gets posted both on the portal info page, and on PSC page. What do others think about letting the community know about this blog?

In order to make this blog a little less abstract and obscure, I wonder if we can add the links to other schools Portal pages as a tab from the MyNaz home page. In this way, people will have a better feeling of what we are talking about. Regarding communications, shall we publicize this blog to all the Nazareth community, or do we keep this venue only for portal people (PP) discussion?

I KNEW it! Rutgers has changed their skin - very boring compared to the last one.

The Portal Communications Committee met recently to discuss possible mechanisms by which the Nazareth College Community can be informed of the Portals objective.

Olga sent out links to other schools Portal pages for review and ideas. It was discussed and similar to the other institutions, we agreed that a Frequently Asked Questions page should be created. After further review of these sites, we will put one together for Nazareth College.

After brainstorming, the committee came up with the following possible ideas for promoting the Portal:

An event where kiosks can be set up and individuals can actually do a hands on demo.
An eblast, notifying the Nazareth College Community about the Portal along with screen shots of the product.
Creation of a Facebook Page. In my discussion with Colleen Brennan-Berry, she informed me that there are roughly 3000 Facebook Pages with a Nazareth email. Colleen mentioned we could possibly try targeting advertising.
A stronger presence on the Nazareth College website will help publicize the Portal website.
Traditional posters and flyers. These need have an attention grabber concept, similar to the Zimbra promotion.

The committee is currently discussing these ideas via email.
