It’s the Community, Stupid! Take 2 at the CUPRAP Conference in Hersey, PA

I’m giving this presentation (an updated version of the keynote speech I gave at the eduWeb conference in July 2008) today (in about 30 minutes) at the CUPRAP conference. It’s the first part of a workshop about social media. Mike Richwalsky presents the second part.

Here are my slides available on Slideshare:

Here are links to the online videos recorded by some higher ed community managers for this presentation:

Ann White from OCU

Adam Stahr from UNL

Rachel Reuben from SUNY New Paltz

Mike Caulfied formerly from Keene State College

Stewart Foss from eduStyle

At the end of my presentation, I’m inviting all the conference participants (and you, my dear readers) to share the secrets behind the success of their social media initiatives and online communities. So, feel free to post your secrets and lessons learned in a comment below.
