Student Success Technology Hacks - How Professors Can Use EAB Navigate for Class Assignments


Higher education faculty have a duty to embrace and promote student success. Without students, we would not have a job. It is imperative that we discover new ways to reach and teach our students.

The Education Advisory Board (EAB Navigate) platform provides an easy-to-operate opportunity for faculty to utilize technology for engaging with students. The academic early alert feature and also the student profile feature can help faculty gain a further glimpse into the academic preparedness of their student.

We need to utilize this information FOR GOOD and not for detrimental purposes. If we admit the student, we have an obligation to do everything we can to graduate the student. However, the student also needs to do their part as well!

Check out this video for more information about how professors can utilize EAB Navigate to promote student success and also for class assignments.

COMM 5311 - Analyzing Census Bureau and Emergency Management Social Media Data on Twitter



Twitter is an amazing tool for analyzing government-to-community communication. It is important to realize how social media messages can be more effective in reaching their target population. This is why most of my social media research focuses on governmental messaging and how people engage with the messages (or take action as a result of it).

This one of our most recent graduate student research projects. This project analyzes Census Bureau and Emergency Management information sent on social media to see which types of messages are most effective. 

Check out the video!

The Importance of Creating Reusable Videos for Online Classes


Sometimes, you have to make your assignments plain for students. Who am I kidding, I need things to be stated plainly as well. So, I am very excited to integrate YouTube into my classes. I use YouTube for explaining assignments in online classes and also for navigating the syllabus. 


Here's an example of how I make ONE video to answer MULTIPLE questions from MULTIPLE semesters. These videos save time and also help me archive the approaches that I use each semester. I am an older professor now,  right?

Here's are some examples from my Student Affairs and Higher Education course!

The question was: "How Can I Submit My Assignments from the Student Affairs in Texas Newsletter"?

Here's my answer:



The question was: "How Can I Complete the Becoming an Expert Activity?"

Here's my answer:


Student Affairs and Student Services is constantly evolving to reflect industry trends. Especially business industry trends. Check out the Student Affairs in Texas newsletter published by the Graduate Students in the Educational Leadership program at Tarleton State University.
