I recently blogged a list of 70 institutions of higher ed that are using or experimenting with WPMU (<a href="http://blog.davelester.org/2008/10/28/wordpress-multi-user-on-college-campuses/" target="_blank">http://blog.davelester.org/2008/10/28/wordpress-multi-user-on-college-campuses/</a>), and I've received over 20 comments suggesting additional installs and creative uses. You may want to check that out, and I'd welcome others to add their sites and continue building the resource.<br>
<br>While some Higher Ed WPMU installs have flashy front-ends, there's growing interest among secondary educators using and experimenting with WordPress MU. We have a good contingent attending WordCamp Ed DC this weekend. Due to obvious privacy concerns given the age of their bloggers, they don't have the same public audience or packaging that an institution like UMW has (to my knowledge). Nevertheless, they should probably be mentioned in the PDF, and I'd be interested in who's doing what out there.<br>

Great idea. As this topic develops, I'll add some of the favorites to<br>
the showcase at WordPress.org. We have an education category over<br>
there, but it definitely has room for expansion.<br>
