Social Media in Universities (Infographic)
Another great Infographic, this time on the ‘research’ (I use the term loosely) on the ‘Pros and Cons of Social Media in (Higher) Education’.
Click here or on the image below for the full infographic highlighting how social media (Facebook, Twitter, Linked In, etc). I do like the final section which actually highlights some of the benefits/successes and challenges that Universities will encounter as they try and implement a social media campaign.
“It is not enough to simply have a profile on a site like Facebook – it requires daily maintenance and interaction with students. Students, current and potential, will judge the school based on their experiences with the school’s social media accounts.”
Very true, and not just limited to how an Institution handles their acocunt(s), it is true for each and every one of us.
I just wished that the creators of these infographics realised there was a world outside of the USA!
In the netherlands we also see a trend of combining social with e-learning. There is a lot to improve. Like good interaction and implementation. Social is here to stay so we need to make a solution for this problems.
