I too think there is a lot of unused potential in social web apps for universities. I'll submit the site to EduStyle once its online but in the mean time, here are a few snapshots of the interface: Home page: http://www.flickr.com/photos/ssot/3101410302/ Project page: http://www.flickr.com/photos/ssot/3101410476/ Your input is welcomed.

Although currently not a focus of this website (as this site is about good design in general), I am hopeful they will consider expanding the focus of this site and recognition for those of us out there who are. I have actually taken the initiative at my university this year to teach and promote various social web applications and how they can be used to communicate and connect with current and prospective students. I think its great students at your university are also getting involved in developing web applications for students!

Although I'm a student, not an admin, higher ed web design very much interests me. I'm especially interested in how universities are using social web applications to encourage student participation (and to show outsiders that the cool stuff going on). I'm working with some other students at the University of North Carolina at Charlotte to build a web application designed to expose all the interesting curricular and extra-curricular projects going on at the College of Computing and Informatics and allow students to talk about them.
