University Business column: Facebook Applications, The Game Changer?
January 31st, 2008 by Karine Joly
My first UB column for 2008 (geez, I’m starting my third year with University Business, time passes by so quickly) is now available in the February issue as well as online: “Facebook Applications: The Game Changer?”
I borrowed the catchy title from Allegheny College Mike Richwalsky’s and Josh Tischianey’s presentation at HighEdWebDev in Rochester, NY.
In this piece, I provide several examples of Facebook applications built by higher ed institutions. You can find direct links to these applications in my new Higher Ed Facebook Applications directory, a selection of 26 interesting apps currently available.
Last, if you’d like to learn how to build your own Facebook applications, you might want to register for an upcoming webinar series I designed for Higher Ed Experts: Facebook Applications 101 and Beyond (March 4-6, 2008). You can find more information about this series at www.higheredexperts.com/facebookapp
