Falling Enrollment

ø

At CELOP we have seen an acceleration of declining enrollment in all of our programs, with the exception of our part-time (no visa) program.

Any comments on the situation in other programs?

Who Hosts this Blog?

ø

As you can probably tell from the URL, this Blog is hosted by the Berkman Center for Internet & Society at the Harvard Law School ( http://cyber.law.harvard.edu/ ). The Berkman Center has become a nexus for the burgeoning blog movement and recently hosted the huge Jupiter Blog Business Conference  http://www.jupiterevents.com/blog/spring… ). I can do this cuz I have a post.Harvard.edu email address. At the present time, as far as I can tell, anyone with an email address ending in harvard.edu can create a blog on the Law School server. Blogs are a novel phenomena and you can find out a lot more about them from links on the Berkman Center site.

What is a Web Log?

What is a Blog? Short for Web Log, it is an evolving form for spontaneous, instantaneous personal and community publishing. A great place to start in understanding the phenomena is with Dave Winer‘s excellent and recently published essay “What makes a Web log a Weblog”  http://blogs.law.harvard.edu/whatMakesAW…)
