UKeiG CPD Zoom Course: How to communicate your research using social media, blogs, video and infographics
Tuesday, 30th November 2021 - 10 am to 1 pm
Opportunities to communicate research to specialist and wide audiences have never been better. Inexpensive and effective technologies alongside social media and blogging platforms means impactful scholarly communications do not have to take much time and effort if used properly. Platforms for communicating research such as Twitter, YouTube, traditional media and blogs, give academics and their project teams greater visibility than ever before.
Infographics, data visualisation, podcasts and animation provide quick and simple ways to disseminate research and ideas if you find your voice, audience and the time. Many of these tools are free and can work in tandem to create a visual identity for any academic regardless of their field of work. In addition, researchers will be empowered to reach diverse new audiences that are not just academic peers, but publishers, editors, fund holders and the public.
Who should attend?
This course will be of interest to researchers, masters and PhD students, research support staff and managers, library and information professionals, communications and marketing professionals.
Course outline and learning outcomes
Topics covered include:
• Starting out and maximising Twitter for research communications
• Creating infographics,
data visualisations and posters
• Research blogging - how to turn a piece of research into a blog or media article
• Getting
visual - tools to help you turn a piece of research into a video presentation, screencast or animation.
The focus of the course is to deliver an overview of the many tools you can use to help you
communicate research and work smarter. The objective is to help attendees go back to their workplace with a digital toolset and skills they can utilise to help communicate and share their work.
Attendees will learn the basics of social media in an academic setting and the course leader will demystify some of the barriers that may have put attendees off from using these tools in a professional setting.
Attention will be paid to the various ethical issues to working more on the web from copyright and Creative Commons, to making more effective use of mobile devices. In addition, the session will touch
on altmetrics, reputation management and how to conduct yourself online professionally.
