Webinar | Stop Wasting Budget: How to Get Better Digital Ad Results and Increase Satisfaction

Hosted by Search Influence

Managing digital marketing campaigns is a tough job. On average, online and continuing education schools spend $800,000 annually on their digital marketing. Yet, only 47% are satisfied with the performance of their campaigns. And just 38% are satisfied with their cost per inquiry. That’s a lot of opportunity to improve results.

Higher education marketers face the dual challenge of limited resources and increased competition, as well as a complex marketing environment. Despite these constraints, marketing departments can still achieve their enrollment goals with the right expertise and knowledge of digital platforms.

Join UPCEA’s Chief Research Officer Jim Fong and UPCEA Platinum Partner Search Influence for:

Takeaways from our latest research that shows most schools have room for improvement in their marketing (you aren’t alone!).
A breakdown of the top strategies to improve digital advertising results and reduce your cost per inquiry.
Tactics to maximize your marketing budget while maintaining (or even enhancing) your lead quality.

You’ll walk away with guidance on where to look for wasted budget and tips to improve your prospect’s experience.

Webinar | Exploring the State of Continuing Education 2024

Hosted by Modern Campus

Across North America, Continuing Education units are leading the way in evolving to meet learners’ changing needs, expectations and demands. The State of Continuing Education 2024 —conducted by The EvoLLLution and UPCEA, in partnership with CAUCE and Modern Campus—found that 54% of CE administrators believe that their unit is the most academically innovative at the institution, yet 61% disagree that their unit is seen as academically equal.

Join our panelists of esteemed Continuing Education leaders for a lively discussion of this perspective gap and other insights on the state of the industry, as we dig deeper into the just-released report.

What our panelists will discuss:

How a lack of enrollment metrics and real-time data impact CE program progress
Changes in the significance of time and resource constraints
How Continuing Education units are scaling their course and section management
Why it’s so important to earn continued support and buy-in from senior leadership at your institution

Panelists:

Dave Cillay, Washington State University
Rod Lastra, University of Manitoba
Catherine Finnegan, Virginia Community College System
Shauna Cox, The EvoLLLution: A Modern Campus Illumination

Webinar | Using AI to Help Instructors Implement a Course Template

Hosted by Harmonize

Abbie -> ChatGPT: Hey friend. Can you help me write a 200 word conference proposal about how the university I work as it working on integrating AI into our workflow despite some cultural pushback? So far we’ve developed a draft of an AI prompt guide to help faculty build content for their courses, and we’re piloting a tool called Harmonize that can help faculty write engaging Discussion prompts, create learning objectives, and even create rubrics for Discussions or other assignments. Eventually, we’d like to create a GPT for our department, the center for teaching and learning excellence, but we’re not quite there yet.

Chat GPT -> Abbie : Certainly! Here’s a draft proposal:

Abbie -> The World: 10 minutes of editing the results lead to this proposal so join us to see how your instructors could benefit in similar ways!

Presenters:

Abbie Stowell, Lincoln Memorial University
Marcus Popetz, Harmonize
