Social Networking in Higher Education

Alaina Wiens, social media specialist at the University of Michigan-Flint. “With all the changes higher ed is experiencing, a lot of people are stubbornly territorial about what they’ve always done, and stressed out by all the changes happening,” she says. “We’ve got to get past that.”

Ashley Hennigan, assistant director of social media strategy for the Cornell University Alumni Association “Social media and other innovative projects can provide incredible learning opportunities when they are placed outside of the typical institutional structure,” she says. “It’s here where we’ve learned to have a more ‘human voice,’ take risks, and learn from our smaller scale successes and failures.”

Start early and provide solid examples Carol started the Facebook group at the beginning of the semester and provided examples of material she wanted students to post. She often showcased the best examples in class

Encourage participation Carol looked at and commented on every post to encourage students to keep posting and also to bait students to actually look at posts. Partway through the semester after talking about photography, she suggested that students post their own photos, or even their own design work

Offer incentives to post Carol’s Facebook project allowed students to earn extra credit for posting examples, giving them a tangible benefit for minimal work

Turn students into treasure hunters The Facebook project allowed students to apply what they were learning in class. Once they started looking for examples, they became treasure hunters
