The purpose of NACADA's Technology in Advising Community is to help academic advisors, faculty advisors, and advising administrators understand the impact of using technologies in advising, including:
- Online communication & virtual advising
- Degree audits & web registration
- Student information systems & electronic advising notes
- Social and connected spaces for innovative staff/faculty resources
- Understand the ideas and trends of how technology is being utilized in higher education
Our activities include:
- annual review and sponsorship of national conference proposals
- solicitation of national and regional conference presentations and workshops
- compiling web resources for advisors, arranged by topics
- organizing Twitter chats throughout the year
This community seeks to serve as a central resource and clearinghouse for information about innovations and issues in academic advising technology. Through our webpage, listserv (TECADV-L), and our social media platforms including our NACADA Technology in Advising Facebook Group, on Twitter (using the hashtag #AcAdv or #AdvTech), and at national and regional conferences, we actively seek to encourage NACADA members to engage in topical discussions and activities related to the uses of technology in advising.
