- Blogs and Microblogs
- Blogs and microblogs are all about content, what’s happening now, mobility and the ability to find what you need, or “searchability". In advising, they provide a form of social media that enables us to reach our students in a manner that is accessible and user-friendly.

- Wikis -
- Why wiki? Because learning is social. Wikis encourage collaboration, learning from each other, and allow for quick information sharing. Wikis assist in collaborative learning. There might be a short-lived project, open-ended goals, updates to a list of references, or extensive group research required for your students, staff and faculty. If you are thinking about collaborative advising & learning with your students and/or staff, you may want to further explore the wonderful world of wikis.
