Share your secret behind your higher ed community success

When I was asked to present the closing keynote at eduWeb 2008 last October, I said to myself: “this is great! For the first time in my life, I’m 100% sure I will have the last word ;-)”

Then, when I picked my topic, “It’s the community, Stupid! 7-step plan to raise and nurture any community online,” the idea of standing alone talking about the community for 45 minutes or so felt a bit weird.

That’s the reason why I asked Brad Ward from Butler University, Mike Caulfield from Keene State College and Adam Stahr from UNL to share on camera some of their secrets behind the success of their online communities.

That’s also the reason why I’d like to invite YOU – whether you attended the conference or not – to share the secret behind your successes in community development and management by posting a comment or a 1-minute reply to this video posted on Seesmic (you might want to skip the second video posted by a Seemic member teaching an Arts Class at Cape Cod Community College who felt like replying in French – that is unless you want to practice your High School French):
