Educate & Elevate: 5 quick tips on using the e-magazine as an effective communications tool
|
An e-magazine is
an online magazine that includes a combination of narrative, video and infographics. The AEBG 2017 Progress Report was published via an e-magazine that may be accessed at this link
.
How can regional consortia stakeholders leverage this communications tool to bring awareness to the relevancy of adult education? Here are five quick tips.
- Post a link on your consortium website for the e-magazine with a brief description such as "Learn more about the work of adult educators across California." Place the link on your home page, in a What's New section, or in the "About" section.
- If you have a regular newsletter, promote the e-magazine link as a separate stand-alone article or as a standing link in the table of contents of header of the newsletter.
- Create posts about the e-magazine content for your social media accounts. Full Capacity Marketing will host a webinar about social media use within the next few months.
- Use the e-magazine content to create a fact sheet about the importance of adult education.
- Distribute the link to key stakeholders to inform them about California's adult education innovations.
Make sure to
register for the upcoming Sept. 8 webinar about creating an effective outreach plan.
