Programme
The Institutional Web Management Workshop 2002 programme consisted of a mixture of
plenary talks and workshop sessions. The plenary talks provided a mixture of
presentations by senior managers within the UK HE and FE sector, together with a
series of case studies from Web practioners.
In addition to the talks and workshop sessions we provided a number of
innovations to this year's event, including a debate, a panel session and a
vendor's slot. A series of discussion groups also provided an
opportunity for delegates themselves to raise and discuss issues of interest.
An overview of the programme is given below. A more
