Slides and description from my keynote talk last month at the University of Greenwich Academic Practice and Technology (APT) Conference:
Are we really “post digital?†when we are still having to teach the “why†and “how†of digital engagement?
It seems like the gap that we’re trying to bridge is more about organizational culture than technological challenge. Our new normal is all about engagement. Assuming we have the capability, we just need a shift in our motivations and expectations.
In 2016 (and beyond), Universities and Colleges are shifting towards a market in education in which teaching, learning, employability, student experience, and digital engagement is the epicentre. Providing a balance of views, hope, digital best practice, and “across the pond†comparison, this keynote will set the tone for a day designed to both enhance and challenge our digital capabilities.

#uogapt @EricStoller – Social media channels don't need to be perfect – perfection leads to stagnation, feel free to experiment

Nice point nicely made by @EricStoller– we don't want to talk abt post digital with those who are still figuring out the interwebs #UoGAPT

@EricStoller #UoGAPT "I focus on the non proprietary, non walled garden tools" . Right on!

Interesting point from @EricStoller – do we spend more on recruiting than on supporting students? Not a great business model #UoGAPT
