Publicizing the EDTECH Website: Strategies for Increasing Student Enrollment

I would suggest adding planned curricular changes in a section on the website. Prospective students can then see that it's not a static environment and the future courses may make the difference in enrolling or not.

The textbook page needs updating.

Make sure information is accurate. Information on textbooks and calendar of classes was not always accurate.

Some of the forms and pages don't seem to correspond. The program completion form doesn't match the required courses. I would also be interested in seeing a list of the instructors, what they teach, and a brief bio of them.

I would like to see a list of faculty and staff on the EDTECH web site, including contact information.

Send out a link to all new students during the beginning of each semester to remind them it is there.

Be sure information is as current and up to date as possible.

I use it each semester when it's time to register for a new class. I don't feel much need for it otherwise on a frequent basis. The Edtech newsletter has been helpful - I'm relying on that for updates more than checking the website regularly.

It was nice to have an 800 number available to make contact when I first was looking at the program - it doesn't seem to be there anymore.

Please make all papers available including graduation forms and change of requirement forms.

Provide a simplified calendar that lists dates for only the EdTech programs. The BSU calander has so many different session structures that it is impossible to figure it out.

Be sure the required textbooks list is accurate & current.

Provide a page of bios & information about each instructor to help assist in selecting a thesis committee.

Website is fine. Keep Blackboard as your Learning Center...I have seen others and it is the best. Be sure all of your instructors have their pictures posted. It is a great program and I am loving every minute of it. I especially enjoy doing my homework when it fits my schedule and I also appreciate the fact that no "in-person weekend meetings" are required for your program (as UOP requires).

Include a link to the library (it may already be there).

Keep it up to date with schedule changes.
