I recently asked the question, "Will Social Media Courses Enable a Cultural Shift in Higher Education?
" in an article I wrote for Social Media Marketing Magazine. In the article I use three business models: "closed", "collaborative," or "open" from David Armano, Senior Vice President at Edelman Digital. I give five questions that Higher Ed must ask to determine which of the three business models they are. I also discuss how Social Media and other collaborative digital tools can shift the culture of Higher Education to being more dynamic and open. The Social Engagement Journey, a great post on Church of the Customer Blog by Jackie Huba, uses five stages of the Social Engagement Journey [image below] from Ant's Eye View to help organizations assess what stage they are at with Social Engagement. These stages are a great way for Higher Ed and other organizations to access where they are at and provides a guide on how to move to the higher stages to operationalize, get results and fully engage.
