Advisee Blog Survey Results

Thanks to those of you who completed the (very short!) Advisee Blog survey. Here are the results:

Q1: will you read the advisee blog if it contains content interesting or useful to you?

• The majority of the respondents said "yes." Although several people said they forget to look at it and appreciate email reminders to check the blog.

Q2: What would you like to see as content for our advisee blog?

• There was a 3-way tie for first place: Logistical and administration information and topics related to Training & Development, and Technology
  
• There was a 2-way tie for second place: Topics related to Leadership and Higher Ed
  
• Third place: Topics related to HR

So here's my plan:
Q1:

• I will continue to send email reminders
  
• I will add a post later in the semester on blog aggregators so you can, if you're interested, set up your own blog aggregator and make it easier to keep up with new posts in this blog and others!
  A blog "aggregator" or blog "reader" goes out and finds the new blog posts for all the blogs you have selected and presents all the new posts in one place (it "aggregates" them). This means you can go to one place and read all your blogs--a real time saver!

Q2:

• I'll continue to include logistical and administrative info in the blog but will also add Training & Development and Technology posts. To a lesser degree I'll add Leadership and Higher Ed posts too.
  
• For the fall, I'll be keeping a separate technology blog as part of ALOP 298--Using Emerging Technologies for Learning. I started this blog for class last year and will continue to add to it. Some of the posts may be a little "techie" but others should be interesting! So feel free to check it out last year's posts! (they won't all be on the screen-- click the "2007" on the right side of the screen to see the 2007 posts)

Thanks again for your feedback!
