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
