Go where the people are
Define your goals— beyond reach, numbers, hits, visits, etc
View open and online education as an upward spiral of learning: you learn, they learn, you teach, they teach, you contribute, they contribute until it becomes “we” learn and contribute.
Give your community something of value.
Think social which builds
relationships, trust, credibility,
and spreads education through
the individuals.
Use social media to enhance lead and invoke curiosity.
Be consistent
Don’t dismiss, ignore negative comments.
Answer negative feedback.
Follow up on comments.
React to suggestions.
Plan communications before, during, and
after events.
Evaluate effectiveness based on education goals
Be open, honest, transparent and share graciously
