“Social media within government organizations has been focused internally, with more of an agency approach. Wikis, blogs, and Facebook-like applications have been developed primarily with a focus on serving the collaboration needs within a particular agency,” noted Paulette Robinson, Assistant Dean for Teaching, Learning & Technology at NDU iCollege. “We’ve selected speakers who are involved in projects that use social media across organizations and agencies to address challenges that require collaboration and communication beyond agencies’ borders.”
