The
University of Phoenix is a technology education organization. Before their
current marketing campaign of getting to work, their slogan was “Thinking
Ahead.” The slog made complete sense because incorporating the use of
technology is what separated the University of Phoenix from other educational
settings and universities. There are several technologies that the University
of Phoenix has in place for their students.
One
of the most popular technology uses that the University of Phoenix has is
Phoenix connect. Similar to Facebook and twitter, Phoenix Connect is an
academically-focused social network that serves the University of Phoenix
community that includes students and instructors (University of
Phoenix, n.d.). The use of the social network with the University of
Phoenix expands and incorporates the use of several social technologies to
include the use of blogs, communities, and groups from other students in
similar professions of learning. Some of the learning communities include
Criminal Justice, Humanities, Education, Social Sciences, and more (University
of Phoenix, n.d.). Students can
tell their own education story using a blog or share in the central community
activity about something pertaining to education and how it affects them or
others.
