Campus bulletin boards covered with �iers are a quintessential symbol of academic life.Nevertheless, with the advent of today’s new mobile and social web technologies, theyare destined for obsolescence, replaced by new, more advanced modes ofcommunication.
However, many institutions of higher learning have yet to upgrade their academiccomputing infrastructure. They remain overly reliant on static portals or course-centricLearning Management Systems (LMS) to address these new interactive modalities. Theresult is a proliferation of disparate systems, ine�cient information �ow and an inabilityto e�ectively engage today’s students.
What is GoingOn?
At GoingOn, our goal is to providecolleges and universities with themost advanced tools available toextend learning and studentengagement beyond the con�nes of“the course” and encompass thebroader aspects of academic success.
The GoingOn Academic EngagementNetwork is not another LearningManagement System. It is a privateacademic network designed totransform the way students andfaculty connect, collaborate andlearn.
Engaging Students and Faculty in the Age of the Social Web
GoingOn provides a complete platform for creating a private academic network wherestudents and faculty can build and participate in online communities, share informationthrough live “Facebook-like” activity streams, and curate their academic identity andconnections −while keeping these activities separate from their personal social networks.
