What data do annual giving professionals have available that can help them learn more about their alumni? This presentation provides you with the tools necessary to categorize and analyze your Facebook posts in order to find actionable information.
Take a look at this multi-school research study that was conducted in late 2015 to determine the most popular tones and topics used by alumni relations and annual giving department social media feeds.

Three parts story-telling, season liberally with video loops - and ask your audience to say "when". You’ll need a kitchen built for teamwork, and the right tools will make your job a lot easier.

How higher education engages with alumni is changing as more and more of our conversations occur online. While your alumni may not fill out career update forms or respond to your emails, they are celebrating their accomplishments on social media and would certainly appreciate a personalized response from their alma matter. Beyond engagement, influencers can play an important role in advancement, but you need to know how to find them. In this session, you'll learn how to find and analyze online conversations to identify engagement opportunities as well as strategic influencers for your institution (not just online celebrities). We'll also review metrics that can be used to determine influence (spoiler alert: it's more than followers). In this presentation, Liz shares case studies and best practices for campus influencer collaboration.

Digital Content Curation as a Social Media Strategy - How to Make the Univers...Thomas Listerman
Although the importance of social media for higher education communications and marketing strategy is increasing, staff resources for digital content oftentimes fail to grow at the same pace. For example, in the 2014 CASE social media survey, 53 percent of respondents identified “staffing of day-to-day content management” as a barrier to successful use of social media. One way to get past that staffing barrier is called curation – the technique of sharing strategically selected content created by your university community across the university’s social media channels.
The University of San Francisco (ca. 10,000 students) launched the curation site #USFCA (hashtag.usfca.edu) in March 2013. One year later, the site had generated more than 4,000 brand-supportive content items coming from 1,200 unique sources, together creating a fascinating, authentic, and on-going curated story about the university – as told by the community. The site yielded more than 160,000 views in the first year and the engaging content was featured across all official social media channels, helping the university to one of the best social media years overall, with an overall 38% social media community growth.
The best thing of all – this model is completely applicable at other higher education institutions, and it’s easy to launch and get going as soon as some basic steps are in place.

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

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.
