Slack: An EdTech Solution Across the Lifecycle

Slack Interface

Since 2009, Robots & Pencils has been creating leading-edge digital experiences for clients like The University of Texas System, 2U/Trilogy, Columbia University and more. Once we began working and developing in Slack in 2014 and partnering with Slack in 2016, we quickly recognized Slack's EdTech potential. Now, our Slack and edTech experts are teaming up with leaders from Slack and ASU to share with you:

  • Opportunities for Slack to impact the student experience across the lifecycle and across silos
  • How ASU is using Slack to onboard, connect and support new students, along with the lessons they've learned while doing so
  • Ideas for introducing and customizing slack for your school's unique needs
