New developments we’re working on (eg widgets, search) not tied to a specific CMS.

The final WPC session of 2015, focused on how best to maintain your University website, EdGEL, the Edinburgh Global Experience Language, as well as Bruce’s regular EdWeb project update.

Beginning in January, we’d like to reinstate regular Tech Peer Group meetings, and we need your input to help us review how we conduct the meetings and what the content should be.
