Higher Ed has a culture of collaboration as part of its DNA. Innovative Salesforce solutions are emerging from schools that are spending significant IT resources to develop amazing solutions for the ever changing higher education landscape. There should be a way for schools to package and benefit from the results of their innovation and labor, while not requiring schools to take on the responsibility of becoming a software company. This talk explores a school-to-school marketplace model that will accelerate innovation, encourage enterprise Salesforce adoption, and use HEDA as a core strategy.
Dr. Robert Hill, Ed.D., a professor in Nova Southeastern University's Ed.D. in Higher Education Leadership program, speaks on "Managing the Enrollment Funnel in these Challenging Times" as part of the first webinar presented by the New England Association of Graduate Admissions Professionals (NEGAP). Dr. Hill, an expert in student services, will discuss how admission strategy can be tailored to meet the needs of prospective students in the current economic environment.
Majors, degrees and programs – these are the products that colleges and universities offer, and the act of earning a degree is a life-changing experience for most people.
Why, then, are so many major, program and degree pages on .edu sites so long, lackluster or lifeless?
This session – originally presented at HighEdWeb 2014 in Portland – focused on creating a better user experience in a place that matters to almost every prospective student: major, degree and program pages.
LyteSpark is a videoconferencing solutions business. All its services are hosted in the cloud. Two solutions exist – a packaged solution or a component solution.
Following requirements had to be undertaken:
• Assessment the current customer profile and determine whether it should be accepted or developed more fully to include ‘new’ customer segments.
• Test findings from the above by qualifying customer interest.
• Clear definition of the target customer(s) and explanation how these customer groups can located and identified.
• Evaluation of how awareness could be raised with these target customers and link this to ‘first conversion’ in an effort to link marketing to sales based measures.
Primary outcome: a definable customer group(s) and a plan of how to convert them to LyteSpark customers
How students search for and decide for a university has grown more complex: the search process and the consulted channels have multiplied.
UNIspotter conducted a study among 86 students (business; interested in pursuing a Master) to observe how they search, where they search and what they search for when deciding for a study program.
We discovered that the search process follows a pattern (4 stages):
- Browse universities (50+ programs)
- Narrow down the option (15-25 programs)
- Detailed Research: Compare (10 programs)
- (Pre-)Decision: Apply (on average 5 programs)
However, not all the touch points are considered equally relevant for the final decision.
The university of the future needs to attract top-talent in a rapidly changing market and needs to manage the information that impacts the future students' decision.
But: most of the time you are not even aware that potential students make decisions about you. Google calls this "The Zero Moment of Truth" - customers researching about you on the internet before they decide to buy a service.
How do students consider university rankings, accreditations, search engines, online portals and the direct contact with universities?
We want to provide you an insight into what we found out.
And input on how you can identify the customer journey your students have had as well as a check-list on how to find room for improvement.
We would be very happy to have your feedback about it!

Education is at the core of who we are. Our closest friends and our future career path by enlarge depend on where we go to college, right? If the stakes are so high why should the burden of search be on high school students? With so much white noise how can teenagers find out what school matches their potential? Today students are making arguably the most important decision in their life based on US New rankings and perceptions of friends and family, leading to stress for students today and wasted potential down the line.
There has to be a better way. We want to change the way high school students interact with universities by enabling colleges to reach out directly to students based on their achievements, interests, and preferences

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.

We all have good and bad thoughts from time to time and situation to situation. We are bombarded daily with spiraling thoughts(both negative and positive) creating all-consuming feel , making us difficult to manage with associated suffering. Good thoughts are like our Mob Signal (Positive thought) amidst noise(negative thought) in the atmosphere. Negative thoughts like noise outweigh positive thoughts. These thoughts often create unwanted confusion, trouble, stress and frustration in our mind as well as chaos in our physical world. Negative thoughts are also known as “distorted thinking”.
Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.

Editor's Notes
Might help to add some misc thoughts/notes on this and others so we know kind of what each other will be talking about
Model Schools– Mt Royal, Mt Washington, Roland Park
(this can support slide prior in comparing what they already have) Wanted to hear what teachers felt made the better schools (mostly charter) different than other city schools…Asked teachers from both public and charter if they felt their school was better in certain areas, what were these areas. Most were coming from Charter schools. The opinions on the issues with the school system were mostly city schools, charter schools also recognized those problems but didn’t they applied to their school. When marketing, they should look at the popular positive attributes they do have, and also highlight the problems listed they DON’T have (turn high teacher turnover into a positive since they have high retention)
Could lead into this slide by after 3-5 going over the factors mentioned on the list and picking out which ones Highlandtown has, then transition by saying additional attributes not mentioned in research about school system that are unique
s at HEMS, as a way to observe the overall atmosphere at the school. The Fifth grade art class and Third grade art classes that were observed showed very similar qualities. The students were well-behaved and engaged in what they were doing. They raised their hands, took turns, and shared materials and in the math class, they appeared excited about the material that they were learning. The teachers provided clear instruction and the team noted an overall welcoming environment. There was an obvious focus on MSAs, as there were motivational posters created by the students, hanging throughout the classrooms. This shows that the school is focused on improving the test results, and the students have been involved in making this a top priority.
Chose to focus on positives as mentioned above since this is what you market, but thought visualization representation may help and also provides information that we refer back to in the
Ad new sign, talk about how the new name would help leverage the new logo and enhance the suggestions we will provide
Schools that have successfully changed name have had to prove how they were different
The amount they mentioned seemed very high, we can provide quote requests if needed, definitely use CMS so anyone can update, bring clear examples, consider working with one company that can manage multiple e-marketing needs, having out of date website often worse than not having visual appeal
Easy for parents that don’t have computers, looks “cool” to students, potential social media integration – on next slide mention that the companies can do all of this
May already be familiar, Note that they can probably do some of this stuff but having someone take ownership and add the features and design would be easier and probably look better than separate plug ins…this would coincide with many of the other recommendations like parent involvement, student input, marketing the positive attributes they have, …you can cater and choose to add or not add based on what your budget ends up being. …didn’t get quote because it is completely dependent on what kind of features you add.
The type of people that are going to do research and read reviews are the type of families you want
Examples of bulletin board locations? Santonis (bulletin board and link on website, request direct link) For event postings I was thinking community things like shows or big sports games in a free paper that parents might read like city paper because everyone gets it and is reasonable price.
PR case per case basis if can’t afford full time publicist as other schools may (patterson park)
Add the part about getting parents information and emails
Talk about leveraging the activities they have (list from web), using money if parents/teachers wont do for free, talk about polls and voting on things (your story) – this could possibly go on same slide as parents?
