]]> Comment on How the integrated use of blogs and Blackboard can improve a university public relations class: A case study by Keith Burnett http://www.higheredblogcon.com/index.php/how-the-integrated-use-of-blogs-and-blackboard-can-improve-a-university-public-relations-class-a-case-study/#comment-970 Keith Burnett Sun, 04 Jun 2006 11:57:25 +0000 http://www.higheredblogcon.com/index.php/how-the-integrated-use-of-blogs-and-blackboard-can-improve-a-university-public-relations-class-a-case-study/#comment-970 I found the screencast an interesting view from a professional person who is now teaching and is confronted by the huge range of tools currently available to distance learning tutors. I have to agree with other commenters that an orientation session or package on Blackboard would have helped to reduce the confusion. I personally am encouraging colleagues to set up 'blogger' based blogs as a simple way of engaging pre-University students with e-learning. Later in full time programs we are experimenting with adding links from the blog to a VLE 'course' with handouts and guided discussion. In my view, new facilities and tools must be added step by step to avoid the kinds of confusion that Ric documents among the students.

]]> Comment on Online Networks: A New Tool for Alumni Relations by Andy Shaindlin http://www.higheredblogcon.com/index.php/online-networks-a-new-tool-for-alumni-relations/#comment-771 Andy Shaindlin Thu, 25 May 2006 16:29:37 +0000 http://www.higheredblogcon.com/index.php/online-networks-a-new-tool-for-alumni-relations/#comment-771 Brief update on the Caltech group within LinkedIn: In May, 2006 LinkedIn and the Caltech Alumni Association sent a joint marketing email to all LinkedIn members who indicated a degree from Caltech but who had not yet joined the Caltech group there. The results were impressive. Within about a week our group grew from 630 members to 1,000 members, which is more than 5% of our addressable base. The open rate for this email was 49% and we estimate the conversion rate so far at 81%. Many of the LinkedIn users apparently were either unaware of the Caltech group (despite our marketing efforts), or had simply not yet bothered to activate their membership in the Caltech group. We are currently working on a set of metrics to learn more about the users' networks and their use of the site.
