« Kurdistan Rising | Main | Moving Day » March 20, 2007Colleges Try Cell Phones, YouTube To Get Word OutBut are the students paying attention? At Belmont University a few years ago, many students rarely checked their campus email account. Now, it appears they don't want university text messages on their cell phones. We never really solved the problem back then. How would you solve it? Posted in Technology

Consequences don't work? Don't students have some responsibility to ensure they're keeping up on essential information? Communication is a two way street. The school must make a reasonable effort to get the information to the student and the student must make a reasonable effort to visit those information sources. I think allowing the student to pick which communication medium they prefer is great but if they fail to check it--too bad so sad. Give them fair warning in the student handbook. And then it's "Welcome to the adult world--we're not your mom". Otherwise, they might consider holding up the second half of a ball game until the announcements are over with or attach notices to pizza delivery boxes or Starbucks cups.
