A number of Scottish Councils are working with open data already, and the current NESTA Make It Local Scotland project initiative is a lead innovator in supporting growth. The City of Edinburgh Council is working closely with a number of partners to develop its approach, with a key aim to deliver real value.

- Abstract
In 2011 it was estimated that 1.8 zettabytes of data was created, enough to fill 57 billion 32Gig iPads, and estimates that data production would double every two years (see the Digital Universe study). The availability of data opens new opportunities to provide information, intelligence and insight into every aspect of institutional life.
In this talk Tony Hirst and Martin Hawksey will a taster of some of the tools and techniques used to explore and communicate some of this data. The talk will also touch upon the ethics and benefits when using these techniques.

- Abstract
- The Key Information Set (KIS) is a mandatory UK-wide collection of data that will assist potential students in their decision-making when applying for an undergraduate course. In this talk, Andrew will outline what information is covered, where it comes from, how it gets updated, how it will be integrated into institutions' websites, how potential students will access the information and how the complete set of data will be available to the general public under an open licence.

- Abstract
The University of Southampton embarked on an ambitious plan to investigate the accessibility of not only their websites but also their in-house behind the scenes intranets and other web based products. The Web4All project aimed to encourage web site teams, developers, designers, content managers, academics and all those in communications, to work with available accessibility and usability standards and guidelines such as W3C WCAG 2.0 and BS 8878. However it was found that just attempting to follow checklists and procedures did not necessarily guarantee the main aim of making web products "accessible, consistent, efficient and enjoyable to use". Evaluations showed that recommendations contained 'within' the guidelines and standards had to be better understood with the provision of initial training, iterative web product testing, user participation and amendments to both content and templates provided for the web products.
This talk will discuss the progress of the Web4All project, issues that have arisen and some of the solutions developed over the past two years.

- Abstract
- Much of the innovation in ICT over recent decades has come out of universities. However, while universities understand the technology, and are leaders in knowledge development, they often seem to be curiously bad at using technology for education or even for PR. Why is this so, and what can be done about it?

- Abstract
2011 saw the 15 billionth download from the Apple app store and there are now over 500,000 different apps available to consumers. Apple's assertion that "There is an app for that" does indeed appear to be correct.
2012 has been labeled the year of the app but as you consider your mobile strategy it is legitimate to ask: "Do I need an app for that?". This talk will explore the context in which an app is the right solution and also highlight the situations in which other mobile web solutions are the right approach for your organisation and your users.

- Abstract
This is a question we ask at the first stage of every website development project. Do our colleagues understand what their website visitors really want? How can we ensure that institutional websites deliver what our end users really want-and need?
We often find colleagues prefer to talk about how some recent advance in technology will solve all their problems. Indeed, isn't it just easier to get funding for new technology rather than grapple with boring old content development, people and process change?
What can we do to address this?

- Abstract
How can a large-scale institutional website provide a great user experience across mobile, tablets and desktops? In January 2012, Brian Kelly wrote a post on the UK Web Focus blog about The Mobile-Only App Anti-Pattern: "You Can't Serve Two Masters" and asked the question "Can a website serve two masters: mobile and desktop?"
In this talk, Keith Doyle will explore a new approach to responsive websites and Paddy Callaghan will showcase a larger responsive website at the University of Bradford.

- Abstract
In summer 2010 the University of Cambridge launched a content management service which provisions hosted, templated websites to departments and research groups with through-the-web access for editing and management. There is some configuration possible and extra optional functionality embedded into the sites, including form and message board creation and a person-based directory.
This presentation maps the progress and popularity of the service and the features that have made it so, the measures required to maintain it and the community it now serves and what it and its users are telling us about other services that would be useful.

- Abstract
Measuring impact is driving many agendas within HEIs. That an institution's web presence is important is uncontroversial; knowing how and why is more difficult to articulate. Maintaining quality; establishing adequate (if not ideal) resourcing; ensuring compliance; effective management of resources; communicating change; and many more demands illustrate why this necessary. But how do we achieve this, and who should do it?
Measurement underpins the information required for effective decision making. Progressing beyond launch and through to a sustainable life-cycle requires monitoring and review so that action is planned and appropriate. Dealing with changes in legislation - such as the requirement to declare and allow consent to cookies - creates significant problems for managers faced with cold starts to the need for an immediate response. How do we keep an eye on our website without losing the plot?
This talk uses examples from practice at LSE and other HEIs to demonstrate a measured a web presence, providing attendees with a model to adapt to their own setting.
