Inside Higher Ed has an excellent article. While it is a little long, it is worth reading all the way through. The article starts out talking about the pros and cons of using Microsoft or Google as an institution's email platform. It also gets into using third party software platforms to facilitate collaboration amongst students, faculty and other key constituencies.
While the focus is classrooms, how about extending it outside of the classroom? Student success is multi-faceted and is a part of every experience a student has in their collegiate experience. The article also mentions harnessing Amazon-like technology so student organizations or books are served online based on the student's interests and online behavior. What an amazing way to engage students where they are...online and deliver content that is specific to that student. And then hopefully the information drives them to meet with peers on campus or attend an event which is a key element of student success and persistence.
It will be interesting to see how the technology landscape evolves in the near future...
Take care,
Traci
