The GKEC site looks a little sparse at the moment (many of the links point to empty yahoo groups) but the membership, as listed on the site, is top-flight. Watch that space.

Lessons Learned at the Ivy League What do alumni want from a university's web presence. Classes? lectures? No, not even e-learning (though they like the audio and video).

Schwartz, Mobile Computing and Communications, July 2001. Submitted on Aug 1, 2001 [Refer]
