UPDATE: Due to low turn out, this session has been delayed one week until April 1st (no joke!)
Next roundtable discussion is scheduled for Tuesday, April 1st @ 1:00PM CDT in #uwebd on irc.freenode.net. Note, that this does not directly deal with the topic of just student blogging, though it could come up. More specifically, we should discuss using student employees in assisting with content policing, writing, creation, etc from within your office to augment current staff. How far should it go, and where do they fit in the workflow?
