Sara Wachter-Boettcher, content strategist and author, knows web content inside out.

#highered Mobile Solutions: Hitting or Missing the Admissions Target?
That’s a question I’ve been working on for a few weeks, ever since the latest Noel-Levitz report (PDF) on the mobile behaviors and expectations of prospective students finally provided us with some hard data on the most valuable pieces of content for this target audience. In a follow-up post arguing for an Admission-First approach for […]

According to the study conducted by Archrival on 24 US campuses (n=500 with a +/-4.25% margin of error), three quarters of current students won’t probably bother scanning your QR codes (thanks to 2code for the tip).
