The document discusses GoingOn, a private academic network designed to transform how students and faculty connect, collaborate, and learn. GoingOn provides a complete platform for colleges and universities to create an online space where students and faculty can build communities, share information through activity streams, and curate their academic identity and connections, separate from personal social networks. The network aims to address limitations of traditional learning management systems by offering more advanced social and mobile capabilities to better engage today's students.

GoingOn Network
The Private Academic Network
Engaging Students and Faculty in the Age of the Social Web
Campus bulletin boards covered with iers are a quintessential symbol of academic life.
Nevertheless, with the advent of today’s new mobile and social web technologies, they
are destined for obsolescence, replaced by new, more advanced modes of
communication.
However, many institutions of higher learning have yet to upgrade their academic
computing infrastructure. They remain overly reliant on static portals or course-centric
Learning Management Systems (LMS) to address these new interactive modalities. The
result is a proliferation of disparate systems, ine cient information ow and an inability
to e ectively engage today’s students.
