ETUG site undergoes facelift

Your favourite portal for news and community in the world of educational technology is getting a facelift. Over the next several months Clint, Jason, Marlena, Keith, and Troy will review the current site, discuss improvements, and produce a version that will better meet the needs of our community. The ETUG website uses WordPress, the world's most popular website platform and rock star of the open education world. This means that our ability to develop a beautiful site that meets our needs is only limited by our skill and imagination. So it's sure to be great!

If you'd like to offer suggestions on the future path of the website, please send an email to Keith (keith.webster@royalroads.ca) or drop into our General channel on Slack (https://etug.ca/join-etug-on-slack/).
