As we stated in an earlier post, the world is obsessed with Facebook. Right now 31% of the people on Facebook are between the ages of 18-24. Even a low, but surprising 4%, are 65 and older!
In our recent #HigherEdChat on March 30, 2011, we discussed Facebook in higher education. Students are now considered the Facebook Generation, and reasonably so. Discussing topics such as; Facebook being a “billboard” versus an engagement tool and barriers that schools face when developing their Facebook presence, there was some great conversations and debates.

Q1: DO YOU FEEL THAT FACEBOOK IS A PLATFORM FOR CONTENT DISTRIBUTION OR STUDENT ENGAGEMENT? #higheredchat |
| 8:15 pm | campusbound: | A1 Facebook should be used for both – informing & educating #higheredchat |
| 8:15 pm | kytaylor88: | A1: Without a doubt. The involvement level of Facebook users is well documented, and provides great exposure and engagement #higheredchat |
| 8:15 pm | ryuuchiba: | 1st: Student Engagement 2nd: Content (but in limited quantities) #higheredchat |
| 8:16 pm | EffectiveBizDev: | @ryuuchiba welcome, Donald! #higheredchat |

| 8:19 pm | cuferg: | A1. Very much so for student engagement. Anyone keeping up with the news coming out of @Inigral the past few weeks? #higheredchat |
| 8:19 pm | EffectiveBizDev: | @WorldWideLearn Hola! Glad you could make it.. tweetchat is a little delayed! sometimes it’s easier to just use twitter.com #higheredchat |
| 8:19 pm | EffectiveBizDev: | RT @campusbound: EffectiveBizDev: @campusbound what about interacting? #higheredchat Educating is all about interacting #higheredchat |
| 8:19 pm | aplusadvantage: | Facebook is a social site, and I believe is not the correct forum for student teacher interaction. #higheredchat |

| 8:20 pm | EffectiveBizDev: | @cuferg tell us more! @Inigral #higheredchat |
| 8:20 pm | ryuuchiba: | If too much content is in a single post it will be ignored by students. #higheredchat |
| 8:20 pm | cuferg: | @CelsiusMI Hi there! Glad you could make it. #higheredchat |
| 8:20 pm | CelsiusMI: | FB is ABSOLUTELY a platform to distribute content and information to current & prospective students!! #higheredchat |
| 8:20 pm | EffectiveBizDev: | @aplusadvantage welcome, Charles! You believe that even at a higher ed level? #higheredchat |
| 8:21 pm | CelsiusMI: | @cuferg It has been too long, my friend Glad to be here!! #higheredchat |

| 8:23 pm | CelsiusMI: | It has to do w/ what info is being shared. Some ppl really find it valuable. re @aplusadvantage Fb not correct forum #higheredchat |
| 8:23 pm | EffectiveBizDev: |
Q2: SHOULD SCHOOLS CHOOSE SPECIFIC CONTENT THAT IS EXCLUSIVE FOR FACEBOOK? #higheredchat |
| 8:24 pm | eeegeee: | RT @EffectiveBizDev: Q2: SHOULD SCHOOLS CHOOSE SPECIFIC CONTENT THAT IS EXCLUSIVE FOR FACEBOOK? #higheredchat |

| 8:24 pm | WorldWideLearn: | I think that it would be a smart plan to use content that shares well on Facebook #higheredchat |
| 8:25 pm | EffectiveBizDev: | @CelsiusMI @aplusadvantage Agree. Some student/teacher interaction is good – on a professional level #higheredchat |
| 8:25 pm | aplusadvantage: | @EffectiveBizDev Thank you. University students should be allowed a private space, and many use FB to fit that purpose. #higheredchat |
| 8:25 pm | dstevenwhite: | A1 FB has the potential to replace college websites for information dissemination and relationship management But will it? #higheredchat |
| 8:25 pm | EffectiveBizDev: | @WorldWideLearn for Q2? #higheredchat |
| 8:26 pm | CelsiusMI: | @EffectiveBizDev @aplusadvantage Absolutely! Many ppl change email addresses, but they are not likely to get a new FB act. #higheredchat |
| 8:26 pm | EffectiveBizDev: | @aplusadvantage What about official school pages where the content is controlled and monitored? good for discussion, no? #higheredchat |
| 8:27 pm | aplusadvantage: | @EffectiveBizDev Perhaps class content should be available student to student, but not at the administrative level. #higheredchat |

| 8:28 pm | EffectiveBizDev: | @TradeGov Hi! Thank you so much #higheredchat |
| 8:28 pm | campusbound: | A2 Colleges use FB to direct students/parents to specific content on their websites #higheredchat |
| 8:28 pm | ryuuchiba: | Depends on their FB audience just like any marketing strategy #higheredchat have link back to website though for exploration |
| 8:28 pm | EffectiveBizDev: | @eric_andersen Welcome, Eric! #higheredchat |
| 8:28 pm | kytaylor88: | A2: FB should broadcast website info/news, advertise events, more accessible and personable than reading and emailing for info #higheredchat |

| 8:29 pm | kytaylor88: | A2 (cont’d): No need for FB-specific content, it’s often more efficient to use FB to drive students to website #higheredchat |

| 8:33 pm | eric_andersen: | @EffectiveBizDev if you can find a FB Group with expert knowledge in a particular topic, it can be very powerful for research! #higheredchat |
| 8:33 pm | CelsiusMI: | A3: Able to find out SO much about students through FB… likes/hobbies/interests & drinking habits lol #facebookcreeping #higheredchat |
| 8:34 pm | EffectiveBizDev: | RT @eric_andersen: if u can find a FB Group with expert knowledge in a particular topic, it can be very powerful for research! #higheredchat |

| 8:36 pm | EffectiveBizDev: | What can you do with the information you receive from listening/lurking on facebook? #higheredchat |
| 8:36 pm | aplusadvantage: | @EffectiveBizDev @celsiusmi These are the kinds of things that teachers do not need to know. #higheredchat |
| 8:36 pm | dstevenwhite: | @EffectiveBizDev great value as listening post. Hear from a variety of stakeholders. Prompt response is critical. #higheredchat |
| 8:37 pm | EffectiveBizDev: | @aplusadvantage @celsiusmi Not necessarily teachers, but if there is a complaint, it should be addressed by someone official #higheredchat |

| 8:38 pm | ryuuchiba: | Lurking is kind of a creepy term. And I think admin should only friend students if the students initiate the connection #higheredchat |

| 8:40 pm | EffectiveBizDev: | RT @dstevenwhite: comments/complaints must receive response from someone promptly. Service in SMM is measured in response time #higheredchat |

| 8:41 pm | eric_andersen: | @EffectiveBizDev in an educational setting listening can help get the pulse of the students, understand their learning styles #higheredchat |
| 8:41 pm | cassieviau: | @aplusadvantage FB can help schools connect w/ students, which can lead to better interaction on campus & in the classroom. #higheredchat |
| 8:41 pm | campusbound: | FB good for college marketers – also for sports clubs activities majors finaid – every office that works with students #higheredchat |
| 8:41 pm | CelsiusMI: | So important!! RT @dstevenwhite @EffectiveBizDev comments/complaints must receive response from someone promptly. #higheredchat |
| 8:41 pm | dstevenwhite: | @EffectiveBizDev Barriers? Time, skill, interest. Many faculty, staff & admins are not yet participating in social media. #higheredchat |
| 8:42 pm | campusbound: | A4 Having a competent person be responsible for FB page contact & updates #higheredchat |
| 8:42 pm | CelsiusMI: | A4: Time and Responsibility is the biggest barrier for many schools #higheredchat |
| 8:42 pm | cassieviau: | @aplusadvantage “Social network” doesn’t have to mean just drinking and pics of friends. Can be a valuable tool for schools. #higheredchat |
| 8:42 pm | EffectiveBizDev: | RT @campusbound: FB good for college marketers – also for sports clubs activs majors finaid -every office that works w/ studs #higheredchat |
| 8:42 pm | kytaylor88: | A4: Professors and/or faculty may be inexperienced with FB and #socialmedia. Worry of amount of time needed for maintenance #higheredchat |
| 8:42 pm | eric_andersen: | @EffectiveBizDev another potential is for schools to use Facebook Questions, here are some examples: http://j.mp/fGRjd5 #higheredchat |
| 8:42 pm | aplusadvantage: | @CelsiusMI @effectivebizdev Facebook now appears to belong to the marketers. #higheredchat |

| 8:52 pm | CelsiusMI: | @aplusadvantage @cassieviau Schools encourage involvement to disseminate info more efficiently. Studnts r already ON fb daily #higheredchat |
| 8:52 pm | EffectiveBizDev: | @ryuuchiba well, I mean more on a different levels… linkedin in more professional vs. facebook which is more laid back #higheredchat |
| 8:52 pm | EffectiveBizDev: | @campusbound oh, myspace! sighhh… #higheredchat |

| 8:54 pm | CelsiusMI: | A5: I prefer them to be separate. All networks have a slightly different audience. #higheredchat |
| 8:54 pm | dstevenwhite: | A5 ok to link if there is no redundancy. @UMassD links to Twitter from FB. FB updates are sent out as tweets to drive traffic #higheredchat |
| 8:54 pm | EffectiveBizDev: | @eric_andersen I think this is where the other different types of content come into play as well #higheredchat |
| 8:54 pm | EffectiveBizDev: | @CelsiusMI but, should you use facebook to promote things on twitter and linkedin? #higheredchat |
| 8:54 pm | cassieviau: | @aplusadvantage Me too. But the site, and people’s expectations for it, have changed (I’m also friends w/ many former profs) #higheredchat |
