Digital Dissonance - Learning to Embrace Change and Enhance the Student Experience

Presented at the Institute of Technology Sligo:

It's time to challenge conventional thinking on the future of higher education in terms of social media, digital transformation, and organisational change. At institutions that 'get' social media, there's a holistic approach to digital engagement that spans the entire organisation. For institutions without intentional and authentic digital leadership, the student experience is scattered and lacks direction. This runs counter to the expectations of students and 'digital champions.' In this session, I shared best practice examples of how an institution can truly get digital and provide an organisational push for ongoing digital transformation as it relates to teaching, learning, and student success. Learn how you can use social media to enhance the student experience as well as the latest ideas for encouraging your leaders to get digital.

12. “It is absolutely significant to say that students are going to compare their online learning experience against other web or app-based experiences that they encounter. It doesn't matter that this comparison might be with Facebook, Amazon, YouTube, or Google. What matters is that course designers, web designers, information technology architects, and others involved in the online learning sphere realize that in 2019, it is completely unacceptable for online-only courses to be PDF repositories.” @EricStoller #itsligo

17. “Social media done right encourages open-mindedness, brainstorming and human contact – it encourages academics to communicate purposefully, be receptive to the input of colleagues and readers and lean on each other’s advice when and if they reach theoretical or methodological impasses. Social media done right constitutes the most effective way of disseminating research. For example, Caspar Addyman used the web to recruit participants all over the world for his interdisciplinary Baby Laughter Project” http://blogs.lse.ac.uk/impactofsocialsciences/2016/10/25/open-research-for-academics-how-to-be-an-academic-in-the-twenty-first-century/ Open Research for Academics: how to be an academic in the twenty-first century @EricStoller #itsligo
