Social Communities: Building Relationships with Students (and Parents)
Milwaukee School of Engineering (MSOE) has always been known for its personalization, but Bridge, a social community for prospective students, gives the university a relevant human voice to connect with the Facebook generation. It reaches the students where they are on Facebook, Twitter, etc., and draws them into a dynamic relationship with the school versus the traditional linear process. Bridge enables the staff to create real connections with students and demonstrates authentic caring before the students set foot on campus. In nearly every metric the university tracks, the social initiative has resulted in game-changing results. Since building its social community, MSOE reached its application goal nine months early and is within reach of the acceptance goal as well. Personal visits to the school have taken off and resulted in a change in how business is done. Attend this session to learn more about how integrating social media and owned communities can supercharge your admission process and impact your enrollment.

Case Study: Rebuilding an Admissions Web PresenceDave Olsen
From print-heavy communication plans to ad hoc social media efforts to an ever expanding number of web sites we are very good at building silos of content. In this session we'll discuss the data, tools, and strategy that West Virginia University used to pare down and better integrate their Admissions-related communication efforts.
One year ago I posted, "10 Social Media Best Practices in Higher Education" which has proven to be one of my most popular posts. This is not surprising, as many of my campus speaking engagements include covering such topics.
This top 10 list includes:
Implement a Social Media Strategy
Produce Quality & Accurate Content
Manage Platforms with Social Media Managers and Student Leaders
Use an Authentic and Transparent Voice
Represent the University/Division/Department Brand and University Resources
Collaborate and Support other University Social Media Pages
Respect Your Community
Dive into Data
Empower Influencers and Engage Audience
Get Internal Buy-In
Social media exists in the gray, so even these best practices could be scrutinized. Whatever your perspective, higher education needs more tools to aid in strategy development, especially since social media platforms change constantly.

For most candidates, making a career decision is serious business and candidates want to “try before they buy.” Recruiting through social media is a great way to keep candidates engaged in your pipeline and let them experience your culture before they commit. In this webinar, Jason Kipps, Universum Canada's Managing Director, will explore how leading companies in your industry are winning talent and reducing recruiting costs through social media.
Using a web interface that is branded to the school’s website, we collect information from prospective students about their academic and extracurricular interests. This information is stored in a database, and initiates the automated creation of a personalized 16-page color catalog. The personalized catalog provides images and information that are relevant to each prospect’s interests. The printed and bound catalogs are then processed for mailing from our location. This is an automated, lights-out, turn-key solution that is already developed, and is working today.
The institutions who are currently employing this solution are very excited about the results they are achieving. Producing and distributing fewer, smaller, and more highly-targeted catalogs is not only saving these schools money, but it also creates a memorable and engaging experience for their prospective students. This solution sets these institutions apart from other universities, and makes a positive, lasting impression.

Beyond the school website, create a comprehensive web presence to reach international students was a presentation provided at the NAFSA Region XII conference in San Diego covering the topic of international student recruitment.
This talk was delivered in October 2016 at the Social Media in Higher Education Summit (Boston).
In the not too distant past, institutes of higher education relied on tried and true channels for interacting with prospective and current students, alumni and donors. But recently, due to social technologies, the tables are turned and the very groups that higher education seeks to engage with, are coming in droves digitally with questions, requests and expectations. While the audience needs remain the same, the methods for engaging have changed dramatically. As Higher Education enters this new world of 24X7 interaction, they often struggle to identify the best practices that can shepherd success. This session will share the methods for building a cohesive social strategy and measuring the impact while enabling the unique needs of various departments, programs and campaigns

2016 Social Media Strategies Higher Ed Summit KeynoteGil Rogers
It seems that every other week we hear about the new “latest and greatest” social networking site on the rise while another network is deemed “dead” in the mainstream media. Unfortunately, when it comes to student recruitment and marketing the narrative of the overall trends don’t always align with what works … particularly in a world of hyper sensitivity to over marketing and privacy.
This presentation will provide relevant data focused on how students actually use social media and digital platforms to find, evaluate, and engage with colleges and universities they are considering; while clearly defining the differences between a student’s “daily use” habits and their college search.
By the end of this session, attendees will:
-- Have a clear understanding of the role social media plays in the college search
-- Understand the value students place in anonymous review sites when selecting a college
-- See a clear way to integrate digital, social, and mobile tools into a realistic recruitment plan

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”.

22. Online Communities - Group Exercise Scenario
Scenario: Your institution is looking to launch an initiative to leverage an online
community to improve engagement and collaboration with 1) Admissions
2) Students 3) Faculty / Staff and 4) Alumni audience(s)
Top goals for your online community initiative are to:
1. Streamline communication / facilitate sharing of information
2. Enable self-service and peer support
3. Streamline institutional processes and operations
As the project team, it is your job to begin the planning process and ensure your
institution has thought through the strategy and plan to implement your online
community
23. Today’s group breakout will focus on defining “who” we are targeting, and then prioritizing
“what” the critical objectives are. Once defined, these objectives will provide the basis to
identify “how” those objectives can be met (via online communities).
Strategies: HOW can social technologies engage your
audience(s) while meeting your objectives?
Business Objectives: WHAT are the goals of your institution?
Audience:
WHO is the
audience
being
targeted?
StakeholderValue:Myneeds
andinterestsare
Technology: WHICH use cases, features and capabilities will
enable you to accomplish your strategies, while meeting your
goals, and engaging your target audience?
Focus on “What” first, “Who” and then “How”
