Abstract:
Has your program’s social media presence flat lined? Unless you have a dedicated social media expert on staff, the responsibility for managing the program’s social media accounts likely falls to someone who already has a full plate. The path to the cyberspace morgue for those accounts may seem inevitable, but it doesn’t have to be. Join the discussion on ways to revitalize your program’s social media presence by adding laughter and personality to your posts. This session will also include techniques for getting staff and students involved in the process, so it doesn’t fall to just one person. Gain fresh and fun ideas to get back on track.

Join us as we outline a comprehensive process, based upon research and our own experiences and observation, for successfully onboarding instructors into an adult basic education classroom using instructional support, online resources, and instructor mentoring.
