Web 2.0—from social networking to file sharing and content co-creation—is radically reshaping the higher education marketing landscape. How will blogs, RSS feeds, tagging, video and community content sites like MySpace change the way we market and recruit? As a social and cultural phenomenon, Web 2.0 and the rise of social media is transforming nearly every aspect of digital communication, from website design and content creation to search. This session will clarify the phenomenon and its ramifications, and explore the 2.0 and social media tools, strategies, and tactics colleges and universities should add to their marketing and admissions recruiting arsenals.
