Higher Ed Experts

Our school doesn’t have a budget to hire a full time social media expert, so I volunteered to take the class to learn more about social media campaign planning. I had no idea just how much was involved in running a successful campaign. This course taught me how to run a campaign from start to finish.

When you approach social media and all of the things you must do to make it effective, it can seem overwhelming. This course breaks up all of the different aspects of social media marketing which helps with framing. The Social Media for Higher Ed course allowed me to see all the steps of social media management and has given me perspective on each portion. Worth every penny!

I recommend this course to anyone interested in learning how to use social media to enhance your school’s reputation and build relationships with your stakeholders. Whether you’re a one-person shop (like me) or part of a marketing communications department, this course will give you the knowledge and skills to take your social media activities to the next level. I gained practical skills and developed a broader appreciation of how to use social media ethically and strategically to strengthen our school’s marketing and communications campaigns.

The course was very applicable to what I do in my job. Our sites haven’t changed much in terms of lay out or format since they were first developed eight years ago, but we learned how we can lay out/create web/email copy in a more effective way, and I now know how to move ahead in a positive, powerful and useful way.
