NOT JUST FOR DISSEMINATION
• Initial explorations in your work, who is
already out there working on this?
• Twitter as a “live literature alert service”
(Eysenbach)
• Is someone willing to support us?
• Can I find collaborators? Can I build on
someone else’s project?
• Can I create a community of participants
and supporters?

PERSONAL LEARNING NETWORK (PLN)
AND SHARE WITH A PARTNER
51. QUICK ACTIVITY – 3 MINS
• Talk to person next to you (or several)
• Exchange
• a. your most used app
• b. a recently installed app, surprising
useful app
• (if you don’t have a smart device, join in
with a group)
53. “The rise of platforms like
Pinterest and Instagram, and
Facebook's multimillion-dollar
acquisition of the latter, shows
how visual content is becoming
an increasingly important force
for communication online.”
"Pictures have also become a
short form way of
communicating lots of
information quickly and
succinctly," says Samuals.
