I was invited to give a 10 min 'lightning presentation' at the Heads of eLearning Forum (HeLF) hosted by my uni in 2013. I decided to showcase the work we were doing to raise the awareness of online identity and how that could affect students and SSU regulations.

3. My PLN curation process:
1
• I ‘follow’ many knowledgeable people and businesses in my
field of interest
2
• I filter their ‘feeds’ and ‘streams’ using keywords & lists and
‘magazine’ tools
3
• I use sites to ‘bookmark’ the useful bits
(articles, links, images, video etc)
4
• I then collate them into my own webpage/curation tool and
share/publish back to PLN

5. The six dimensions of Social Media-literate leadership
http://www.mckinsey.com/insights/high_tech_telecoms_internet/six_social-media_skills_every_leader_needs

6. Staff & Student Awareness
1. How do we engage our staff so that they can see the
benefits of social media?
–
Workshops, news stories & Solent events
2. How do we get students to use Social Media to ensure that
they are ‘Employability Aware’?
–
In-class presentations & assessment
3. How can we help staff & students to recognise that their
digital skills are actually DESIRED SKILLS and should be
celebrated/promoted?
–
Communities of Practice?

7. Risks & considerations
What does your institution’s Plagiarism/Collusion regs say?
– collusion - where the student/s knowingly or negligently allows their
work to be viewed by another student, in any form, and this work is
then subsequently incorporated in, or represented as, the work of
another student
Can it be ‘locked down’?
Who owns your work?

8. Risks & considerations
Your ‘online self’ is an extension of your real self – what do you
want the world to see? Are you restricted by marketing policy?
Should we alert people to their errors?

9. Managing Expectations..?
• Instant responses to messages?
• Refusal to ‘sign-up’
– should they be forced?
• Refusal to explore new media?
• “You will be GOOGLED”!

10. So…
1. What’s the innovation?
Institutional shift to improve digital
literacy skills (staff & students)
2. What’s the impact?
Improved Employability, Personal/Career
Dev, Conversations, innovative assessments, reduced fear of
‘new tech’, lower tech ‘hump’, more lecturers coming to us
with ideas
3. What are the implications?
Solent’s Regs (assessment/marketing), individual/institution
reputation, IPR/Ownership, data storage,
All a ‘Work In Progress’
