The document discusses marketing funnels and how schools can analyze the return on investment (ROI) of different marketing activities. It provides an example of calculating the value of a student, applicant, campus visit, and virtual tour. A student is worth $30,000 based on average costs and discounts. This allows the school to determine an applicant is worth $6,000 and a campus visit $1,200. From there, the ROI of a virtual tour or other activities can be estimated based on conversion rates from that activity to applications or visits. The key takeaway is that marketing only works if it converts leads into enrolled students.
Recruitment Marketing: Bridging the Gap Between Awareness & CommitmentKyle James
Colleges and Universities do a great job of creating awareness around their brands. They also do a great job of closing prospective students who are interested school into new students. The one problem with this is that there are three main stages in the Recruitment funnel for new students and this area is something that schools don't do exceptionally well. We're talking about the Converting and Engaging stage fo the recruitment funnel. In this webinar we will focus on the steps and processes critical to this middle stage that bridges the gap of potential students being aware of your brand and actually becoming students. What is involved, how do you accomplish it and ultimately how can you measure success.
Inbound School Marketing: Is Your Website Helping The Bottom Line?Kyle James
The rules of the game have changed. Having a website is standard practice but your website is more than a branding piece for your institution. The majority of almost every school’s annual budget comes from tuition so helping increase enrollment has to be the site's top priority. Are you fully leveraging it for a marketing purpose? How is your social media, blogging, mobile efforts and search engine optimization coming together to help you meet these goals? In this presentation, you'll get a blue print for success. We will discuss the importance of your website in the marketing and recruitment funnel, how you can actually get a ROI on marketing and give you formulas and calculators to financially justify future projects.

Search Engine Optimization is commonly shortened to SEO. SEO is a complete industry with expected spending in 2014 to reach $5 billion dollars.
The thing is SEO is not rocket scientist no matter what those spammy SEO marketers who promise #1 ranking tell you.

You Don't Need IT To Do That - The World of Outsourcing and SaaSKyle James
Hosting your website on campus not only has it's own risks but there are probably more "hidden costs" than you are aware.
The same can be said for trying to deploying your own streaming media server, digital asset management system, course catalog management system or countless other technology tools. Many of these tools are needed by the people that handle marketing and are increasingly being migrating towards the web.
In this thought provoking presentation Kyle hopes to start the discussion about why we do many of the technology projects the way we do and ask if there is a better, more cost effective way to do them. This isn't an us vs them debate but a how can we do more with less (people and/or budget).
Disclaimer: I'm not saying IT is bad or evil I'm hoping to start a discussion that is long overdue about how and why we do projects the way before. I spent three years in Higher Ed IT so I can relate to both sides.
By now everyone knows the value of Search Engine Optimization (SEO).
There are a lot of optimization tools out there and free optimization tools are a dime a dozen. Knowing exactly what free tools are the best is the real challenge.
What is important in optimization of a college websites is actually different than most websites.
In this session, James talks through what is important in optimizing college websites so that when you evaluate SEO tools you will be better able to pick the right one. After that he covers some of the best free tools for you and how to use them.
The Interactive Campus Map: An Essential Online Recruiting ToolKyle James
We firmly believe that an interactive campus map is an essential online recruiting tool for every college or university. Recent data suggests that 84% of prospective students found a campus visit as a credible source in the college decision process. Another study showed that 77% of prospective students found a campus visit request form on a website to have a lot of value. This data shows the importance of your campus to a student’s final decision making process. Having an interactive campus map opens up the top of your recruitment funnel and is an essential tool for online recruitment. This presentation will dive deeply into the stats, ROI and the story of why this is an essential online recruitment tool. It could easily be argued that it is the most important feature on a college website.

Maybe you don’t even know what search engine optimization (SEO) is? Search engines are the first place that nearly everyone goes when looking for something.

June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202
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.
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.

13. Establishing ROI
If we can work backwards from the
value of a student we can establish the
value of an Interactive Campus Map.
*All numbers are created as examples
15. What is the value of a Student?
• Average Years = 3
• Cost Per Year = $20,000
• Average Yearly Discount = $10,000
• Student Value = 3 * ($20,000 - $10,000)
