My latest University Business column is now available in the February issue as well as online: “Location, location, location: Should institutions dive into Foursquare and other location-based services?”
In this column, I take a look at the newest shiny toys we’ve been playing with for a few months now in higher education: location-based services.
My goal for this article was to discuss if (and in which cases) institutions should go ballistic with Foursquare, Gowalla, SCNVGR and other location-based services
I would love to hear what YOU think.
Do you think it’s time for higher ed to embrace location-based services? What’s your experience at your institution? Are your students checking in like crazy or is it pretty quiet?
