Welcome to the Social Media Conference website!
The Social Media in Higher Education Conference will be
held from 8:30 am to 5:30 pm on Tuesday, March 18, in
the Memorial Union. Social media refers to
collaborative, Web-based tools for communication and
the creation of mixed-media content. This all-day
conference will feature information on an array of new
social media technology, including Wimba, wikis,
blogging, podcasting, social bookmarking, virtual
environments, and other Web-enhanced learning
technologies.
The luncheon address will be given in the Century Theater from 11:30 to 12:30. The luncheon will follow immediately after the address in the MU Prairie and Rose rooms. Vice President for Information Technology Bonnie Neas will be speaking at lunch about the role of IT in social media at NDSU. There are no fees to attend the conference or luncheon, but luncheon seating is limited. Persons wishing to attend the luncheon must also indicate whether they will attend morning sessions, afternoon sessions, or both.
