Session description

WordPress slices, it dices, it makes julienned fries—but what's the best plugin for each of those things while complying with the accessibility, branding and hosting requirements of higher ed? In this session, we'll run down the plugins most commonly used in higher ed, as well as the ones developed (or forked) in-house and open sourced by university web teams. We'll also talk about how to evaluate new plugins and stay on top of security and maintenance issues once you've installed all the things.
