If you are intersted in participating and perhaps sharing in the cost, please let me know. If there is enough interest, we will register for the webinar and arrange a central location for UM participants.
Here’s a description of the event from Stamats:
Web 2.0 is significantly altering the higher education marketing landscape. As a social and cultural phenomenon, it’s transforming nearly every aspect of digital communication, from Web site design and content creation to search. This session will clarify the phenomenon and its ramifications, and explore the 2.0 tools, strategies, and tactics colleges and universities should add to their marketing, recruiting, and advancement arsenals.
- The similarities and differences among the key social media platforms and technologies
- The rules for engagement that underlie any effective 2.0 strategy
- How to build your own 2.0 community and be part of existing communities
- How to integrate 2.0 prinicpals and tactics into traditional marketing
Also, if you would like a basic introduction to Web 2.0 and its impact on The University of Montana, Nick Shontz from the IT web group and I have developed a 20-minute presentation that we would be happy to deliver to any department or group.
