From a Single Community to an Institution-wide Network…

You can start creating your academic network in whatever way works best for you. Delivered as an on-demand solution, GoingOn is easy to deploy, without requiring development resources.

Just plant the seed and watch your network grow: social classrooms and program commons, student study groups and interdisciplinary faculty collaboratives. Across your campus, GoingOn will help transform engagement and enrich the academic experience.

Director of Academic Technology The GoingOn Academic Engagement Network provides a common platform for enhancing communication and collaboration between all your programs, faculty, and students. With GoingOn, you can aggregate access to resources, support interdisciplinary studies, and provide a broader understanding of the culture, faculty, courses, and research that make your school unique.


Of course, though we all dream of an institution-wide network, at GoingOn we understand that you may need a more pragmatic and incremental way to get started building it. Here are some of the packages that can help you get going on:

 

 


Program Commons
Provide your programs and departments with a fast and easy way to create a central commons, communities, and channels - online spaces where they can engage students, highlight faculty and resources, disseminate research, broadcast announcements, and publicize events.

 

Research Commons
Provide faculty and their graduate students with the tools they need to more effectively manage communication and coordination around grant writing and research projects. The commons can also help eliminate hidden silos of information, highlighting the work of some of your best and brightest and inspiring upcoming talent.

 

Library Information Commons
Transform static library portals into live streams and and active communities. Both faculty and students can subscribe to channels to receive updated news, papers, and journals. You can even create a hub for interdisciplinary discourse, dialogue and debate.

 

Internal Committees & Workgroups

Help faculty and administrators be more productive by providing them with modern tools to communicate and collaborate on projects and initiatives that enhance the quality of your organization.

 

 

Faculty Commons
Create a virtual faculty lounge where your faculty can meet, discuss curriculum, and share their work.  Make it easier for them to stay up to date with the latest school news, policies, and initiatives. Enable them to organize more detailed workgroups for coordinating projects and workshops.

 

Social Classrooms
Compared to traditional LMS courses, our social classrooms provide a more engaging and participatory environment, fostering informal collaboration and learning. Create your course community in minutes, drawing from our library of configurable components: blogs, file-sharing, forum discussions, videos, micro-blogging, social bookmarks, Q&A, units, assignments, and more.

 

Seminars & Workshops

Eliminate the need to create new custom websites every time one of your departments or programs wants to host a seminar or workshop. Combining elements of online learning and community-building, create an engaging environment to publicize and facilitate the event, and to maintain connections and conversation after it ends.

 

 

VP of Student Affairs

At GoingOn, we understand that students are more successful when they have a strong affinity with their school, establish meaningful learning connections, and become immersed in their academic life.  We are committed to providing Student Affairs organizations with the tools they need to:

 

  • Engage students with online technologies familiar to today's young adults
  • Expand learning and collaboration beyond the confines of the course 
  • Consolidate disparate systems and information flows
  • Ensure that students and faculty alike utilize all available resources 
  • Cultivate stronger school affinity and brand recognition 
  • Help every student to recognize their full potential

Of course, though we all dream of an institution-wide network, at GoingOn we understand that you may need a more pragmatic and incremental way to get started building it.  Here are some of the packages that can help you get going on:

Student Commons

Bulletin boards engulfed by fliers are destined to go the way of the compact disc - replaced by contemporary modes of social web & mobile communication. The student commons will help students to connect with each other in more effective and meaningful ways - and will help you maintain a better sense of the pulse of the campus.

 

First-Year Student Experience
The first few months are perhaps the most critical in ensuring the long-term success of any student. Provide your first-year students with an online community environment where they can begin building a relationship with their school, access available services, and learn about the many programs and organizations that comprise your institution's unique academic experience. For some students, GoingOn will provide a place to make academic connections before they are ready to 'friend' someone.

 

Student Governments, Clubs, and Organizations
Allow your students to take charge and get involved.  Provide them with the tools they need to build communities and channels for publishing information to and connecting with the entire student body. Students can search a school-wide directory, and easily subscribe to feeds and join communities.

Student Study Center
 There may be no talking in the library, but in the Student Study Center, students can be as vocal as they want: ask questions, share notes, participate in online discussions, or find a tutor.  Allow students or faculty to create their own study group communities, and invite students using information for your SIS or LMS.

 

Study Abroad & Internship Communities
Integrate co-curricular activities and processes into the student experience.  Help students more effectively discover programs and internships, see the experiences of others and share their own, and establish lifelong friendships. Your ability to capture these opportunities and experiences in a modern environment can be a highly effective recruiting tool.

 

Residential Commons
Simplify dorm-related processes, manage announcements and events, and provide online bulletin boards.  Your students will not only form study groups, post rideshares, and publicize events; they will transform static portals into a living and evolving network, building community within and across residential groups.

Director of Continuing Education At GoingOn, we understand that Continuing & Executive Education have unique needs in delivering online courses and engaging a disparate, geographically-dispersed student body. What we have found is that students in these programs want much more than online activities and tests. They want to participate in interactive dialogue, share experiences, find mentors, and build networks that can help advance their professional goals. At the same time, teachers and administrators need modern tools that can help them to monitor participation and enable them to be more effective facilitators.


Designed to complement LMSs, the GoingOn Academic Engagement Network creates a rich, engaging, online environment that provides students with many of the benefits of an on-campus experience. Social classrooms and program-level communities deliver a more substantial and fulfilling student experience, and cultivate deeper, longer-lasting connections between you and your students.


Of course, though we all dream of an institution-wide network, at GoingOn we understand that you may need a more pragmatic and incremental way to get started building it.  Here are some of the packages that can help you get going on:

Corporate Training Network 
Corporate Training Networks incorporate social classrooms and CoPs to provide an integrated environment for delivering branded curriculum, courses, and communities to your corporate customers.  Not only will your students learn more, they will also remain connected to one another and to your institution long after the first course ends.

Communities of Practice
Communities of Practice (CoPs) bring together groups of people who share an interest, area of study, research, or profession. CoPs are not limited to students and faculty, but can reach out more broadly to external scholars, practitioners. alumni, and mentors. With GoingOn, you can create these powerful online environments quickly and easily. They offer a great way to engage students, build brand, and drive revenues by inviting members to participate in related courses.

 

Program Commons 
Provide your programs and departments with a fast and easy way to create a central commons, communities, and channels - online spaces where they can engage students, highlight faculty and resources, disseminate research, broadcast announcements and publicize events.

Chief Information Officer Are Drupal websites, school Facebook pages, and social mashups sprouting up all over your institution, creating a potential security and support nightmare? Are your portals starting to look a bit old and un-social?  Have you grown tired of hearing about yet another LMS project that is going to “get it right?”  If so, it might be time to get GoingOn. 

 

GoingOn is neither an LMS nor a consumer social app. It is an institution-wide academic social network, designed to complement and integrate with your existing SIS and LMS systems.
