To understand how you can design usable websites, including intranets,  Jakob’s usable information technology is a good resource: http://www.useit.com/

With the use of Web 2.0 technologies such as wikis and blogs, web design principles such as high contrast in the colour of text and background, use of meaning links etc are still applicable in general. In an academic institution, I think the challenge is how these user-generated content can be moderated and archived in an efficient manner. In additon, in the absence of an e-portfolio, how can students take their works with them after they have completed their academic courses.
