Social Media @ Jubilee Graduate Centre. Series of sessions on the use of social media in academic practice. Delivered to PhD students and Early Career Researchers (ECRs). Session One: Introduction to Social Media. 18 January 2008. Co-authored with LeRoy Hill.
I gave this presentation to Jeff Bieber's American University COMM 567 class (which is focused on "Communications and Social Change"). The class is in the progress of mapping out a sexual assault awareness/prevention campaign targeted to the American University campus and is having a variety of guest speakers join them on their journey. As someone always interested and previously very active with this issue, the experience could have not been more meaningful. Social Media is absolutely a tool in the tool belt for Social Change.
I have learnt a lot by using various Social Media tools. Blogs written by experts and wikis update me with the latest happenings in the e-learning world, while social bookmarking sites offer news, reviews, etc, and networking sites allows me to connect and collaborate with experts who are more than willing to share ideas, resources and experiences.
Social media tools have changed our lives for the better and made them much easier. What are your views on this? Share your thoughts on how social media tools have helped you in your respective fields.

Embracing GenAI - A Strategic ImperativePeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.

6. what are the opportunities?
what are the risks?
Thinking about how we all
use social media...
7. This is an activity in pairs that you can also try with
students
At least one of you will need access to a digital device
(smartphone, laptop, netbook etc)
If you are using your own device, do not log into any
social networks (e.g. Facebook)
Find out what you can about each other using only
material that is publicly available online
You can guide each other to relevant sites but don’t give
away information you can’t see online
Do not sign in to social networks (private material will be
visible)
Auditing your own
digital reputation
8. Reflections
How much of what is visible online is under your control?
What could you find that surprised you? What couldn’t
you find (easily) that surprised you?
How would you like to appear online?
What could you do to create a more positive digital
identity?
Auditing your own
digital reputation
9. Creating a positive digital
identity
Tips and tricks
Always protect the privacy of your personal information
Integrate and cross-reference your public brand
Use one public profile and update / propagate it regularly
e.g. about me, blog, employers’ profile, prof network
Layer information: broadcast headlines, let people find
the detail if they are interested
Use tagging to create or join a story
Limit the time you spend on personal ‘branding’ - make it
intrinsic to what you do and interesting to you
When new to a network, LARC (Lurk and learn, Ask, Re-
tweet -view -post, Collate and comment)
10. These slides showed examples of individual professional
profiles and networking activities which have been
removed
Instead, find someone in your field who has a successful
online profile and see how many networks they use, and
how well integrated you find their use of digital media and
branding.
Examples

Reflections
12. How are social media changing academic practices
generally and in your subject areas?
Social media and practices
of learning and teaching
13. What are the opportunities and risks of using social
media for learning and for teaching?
Social media and practices
of learning and teaching
14. Students develop their own public professional identity
Practice communicating in a public space (feedback,
critique, motivation)
Practice working across personal/professional, public/
private boundaries
Genuine contribution to the discourse of the subject
Get authentic feedback from beyond teaching team
Leave positive digital traces for revision, review,
showcasing, self-belief
Work in a reasonably familiar setting (social media)
...
Opportunities
15. Legal infringement (copyright, consent, privacy...)
Cultural infringement (university regulations, policing of
public/private boundaries...)
Reputation - staff and students
May be pushing students out of their comfort zone
(walled garden)
May be harder to monitor, assess, review student
progress than in closed environments?
Staff may fear students more proficient than they are?
...
Risks
16. Break out of the walled garden:
students contribute to original research or data sharing
projects, edit academic wikis and blogs, share learning
materials, showcase creative work online
Digital identity work:
focus on building a professional profile e.g. through
LinkedIn, twitter, or subject network
or focus on reflection and personal development e.g.
through a blog or e-portfolio
Amplify learning support:
encourage students to use existing social media
accounts - or open new ones - to share ideas, links,
references, resources and encouragement or to
collaborate on projects and outcomes
Designing social media
into the curriculum
17. In pairs/small groups
Discuss what you already do with students that could be
done (better) with the use of a social medium or network
Design a learning activity that you could use with
students tomorrow
Consider: learning outcomes; access; setting up the
activity (solo, pairs, groups?); supporting the activity;
assessing the activity; possible problems and solutions
