NACADA Tech Check-In

Hello #nacadatech09 Participants,

How are you? I just thought I would check in to find out what has been happening at your home institutions. Be sure to post a comment with your updates & news since you left the seminar on the NACADA Tech website.

Looking forward to hearing your updates & news.
Tech on,

Projects & Ideas from Laura’s Learning Community

Great first meeting with the Learning Community (LC)! It sounds like many of you have different ideas, goals & reasons to attend. I hope that you are able to connect with others in our LC to brainstorm & share ideas on what sort of technologies you might take back to your home campuses. Here are a few that were mentioned from our first LC Session:

• Contact & connect with more students
• Retention & recruitment
• Orientation & First Year students
• First Generation students & limited web value
• Grants (Title 3) & deciding how to best utilize resources/plans
• Student Readiness Inventory
• Online Advising Booking System & Database
• Optimize limited resources due to fiscal cut backs
• Adult online education programs
• Online university models & online advising
• Web-based surveys
• Geography & isolation – need to connect
• Degree audit programs
• Technical support & talking to IT
• Limited internet connection & experience (the students)
• Costs of implementation

PHEW! Those are just a few, and I am sure that more will arise from our LC discussions. Please post any questions or discussion topics that you would like to address below. See you at 4:30 pm!
