SI Update: Moving to the Web

Today, I would like to announce that we are changing our SI Update Newsletter format from a PDF newsletter to a web blog format. We believe that this will allow our readers to stay up to date with news from the International and National Centers for SI, provide opportunities for readers to comment on posts, and to increase the number of posts so readers have more current news items to read. We plan to provide monthly articles from a variety of sources including the International Center staff as well as other contributors from around the world.

Benefits from the change in format include:
• More frequentl updates
• Easily searchable items
• Archive of past posts
• Posts can be tagged or labelled for organization
• Readers can use RSS feed to stay up to date
• Readers can leave comments to continue the discussion

The New SI Update format will not replace our current SI Net email discussion group. We hope that we are now offering another opportunity to inform our SI colleges and provide another resource to continue the discussion on student success and retention.

We hope you enjoy this new format. Please post comments here regarding the blog format.

Regards,

Sonny Painter
