How to use social media walls in education

Event walls

Use a social wall to engage students and parents during events. Be it sports events, events organised by students, conferences, graduation and welcome parties, or even fundraising events — a social wall will connect your community, help you collect authentic User-Generated Content and spread the word about your university.

Permanent displays

University social media wall displays help create a sense of community. They foster interaction and engagement and are a great way to show school pride. You can also use them to spread relevant information to students, whether it’s about cancelled classes or upcoming events, or just encourage them to share their campus experience.

CWRU has integrated a social wall into a two-story, multi-touch video wall on campus. The social wall has become an integral part of the university’s marketing, providing information, entertainment and creating a sense of community at the campus’ central hub.

Website widgets

Using a social wall on the university website helps you keep students up to date with content that you already create for your social media channels. It also adds compelling social proof by displaying authentic content posted by your students. This is content that’s highly influential and will encourage new students to pick your university over others.

State University of New York Engage and Inform Community via Social Media Displays

The State University of New York launched an initiative to help victims and survivors of violence called SUNY’s Got Your Back. The campaign organized events on all SUNY campuses and used a social wall to engage and educate the community.

Elizabeth Brady

Founding Director

Social media helps us raise excitement for our events and to engage students and community members in a positive way. We display our Walls.io social media wall at SUNY’s Got Your Back assembly events and conferences. Students and community members post photos and messages which are then rotated on the screens. This helps our attendees engage individually and collectively with the program in real-time.

Tedx Engage In-Person Event With Social Media Displays

TEDx Donauinsel and TEDx Freiburg share how they’ve used social walls to engage their audience and enhance events.

Mathias Haas

Organiser of TEDxDonauinsel

TEDx is all about ideas and the conversations that will spark from them. The social wall helps accelerate these conversations as they’re accompanying the talks in real-time, but it also serves as an archive for audience reactions after the event.
