How Emory University is Building an Engaged Campus
Long before the emergence of Facebook, Emory University pioneered LearnLink, an institution-wide online community and communications environment for engaging students, faculty and staff around both academic and co-curricular activities. Almost 15 years and millions of posts later, LearnLink has become an integral part of the “Emory Experience,” and has helped to set the bar for online engagement in higher education.
Today, Emory University is again at the forefront of exploring modern social technologies to re-shape how students and faculty engage in academic life. During this webinar, Alan Cattier, Director of Academic Technology Services at Emory University, will share his vision for building a vibrant, more engaged campus, as well as the hard fought lessons and best practices that he has learned.
In this 60-minute webinar, you will:
- Learn how social technologies are being utilized to help streamline communications & foster student engagement
- Discuss the emerging role of Private Academic Social Networks, and how they differ from Facebook and Twitter
- Discover how to transform static portals into "intelligent activity streams" that ensure that you get the right information to the right people in the right way
- Explore new tools for fostering connections and collaboration between colleagues, cohorts and classmates
- Learn how students, faculty and staff can benefit from a connected campus
