WPCampus is excited to launch a large-scale research project on “the state of WordPress in higher education” in partnership with our friends at Human Made.
This project aims to spotlight the challenges, goals, frustrations, hopes, and dreams of people working with WordPress in higher education. We'll examine organizational considerations, tech stacks, governance, and much more. WPCampus and Human will share all of our findings publicly.
