Wonder how colleges and universities have dealt with the changes we've seen on the internet in the last ten years? Last week, Charlie posted a link to an
infographic charting
these stunning developments. It turns out that the brains behind
Best Education Sites created the graphic, and so, with my interest piqued, I checked out their site. I was greeted with yet another fascinating infographic that compares social media presence among schools and explores the relationship between top-tier higher ed institutions and multimedia savvy.
Even since I've been at the University, I've witnessed...
- a major overhaul of our website's aesthetics, organization, and color choice
- a large increase in our presence on Twitter
- and an expansion of contests that involve user-generated media and social networks (photo scavenger hunts using instagram, for instance).
UD knows that to establish itself as an East Coast Classic, it must keep in step with the web presence of prestigious schools like Harvard and University of California Berkley. Also of note: we're one of the 15% of sites that feature the color blue prominently! Scroll down to the end of the
inforgaphic to view more stats and comparisons.
