Social Media and Institutional Leadership in UK Higher EducationSue Beckingham
This research project examines how senior leaders in UK higher education deploy social media to the benefit of their institutions, their staff and their students. As universities become increasingly digital institutions within complex distributed networks, we suggest it is vitally important for senior leaders to directly embrace social approaches to communication and engagement. Drawing on paradigms from other sectors and outside the UK, we begin the work by establishing the rationale for university leaders to communicate regularly, personally and responsively to support strategic change.
Specifically, we explore how ‘digital leadership’ through social media can:
promote institutional successes and strategies within and outside the University
enhance direct engagement with students, staff and other stakeholders
role model behaviours in relation to digital capabilities
Our work is underpinned by a data gathering exercises, mapping how Vice-Chancellors of all UK universities currently use social media, with specific focus on Twitter and LinkedIn. We have selected these channels because of their widespread use in prof4essional contexts. The quantitative data we provide will establish how regularly these senior leaders use social media and what reach they have with particular networks.
This will be complemented by a number of detailed case studies, looking at how individual Vice-Chancellors build their networks through disseminating interesting and valuable content. Qualitative analysis of the nature and tone of engagement employed by Vice-Chancellors will help illustrate to what extent they reveal individual personalities, humanising themselves, their roles and their examples of student engagement using social media, asking of the greater visibility and personalisation for senior institutional affiliation and belonging amongst the institution’s student body.

Ripple Effect: Faculty Redesign Through Course RedesignKenneth Ronkowitz
The Writing Initiative at Passaic County Community College has a primary goal of improving writing by redesigning more than 20 GenEd courses across disciplines as writing-intensive. An embedded component of the project is the use of technology by the faculty and students participating in the WI courses. A secondary goal is to expand the number of other instructors integrating technology into their courses – to start a ripple effect in the college community.
This one hour webinar that took place on Thursday 10 September is aimed at everyone involved in providing video based services in higher education. We invited 3 experienced practitioners to tell up about their plans and the challenges they face for the coming year, they are:
Carlos Turró Ribalta, Head of Media Services department, Universitat Politécnica de Valencia, Spain
Thorleif Hallén, Senior Adviser/Manager Educational Technologies, UNINETT, Norway
Daniel Tan, Group Chief Learning Officer at the Taylor's Education Group, Malaysia
The main topics our panel is planning to discuss are:
Beyond campus wide implementation – How to get campus wide use?
Flipped videos or lecture capture – What path do we follow?
User Generated content – How do we manage it?
From note-taking to mind maps – how is the learning process changing?
Learning on the move – How is it done and what are the results?
Video segmentation – How to reuse the material in other courses?

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.

3. Our Focus
Helping staff to identify and use social media tools for
communication and collaboration within and beyond the
classroom (Learning Activities)
Helping students and staff to identify and use relevant social
media tools to curate and organise information relating to
learning (Organising Learning)
Helping students to prepare digital portfolios to openly share
outcomes and projects to develop a professional online
presence (Showcasing Learning)
4. LEARNING ACTIVITIES
Did you know that there are a variety of ways in which social
media can be used to communicate with students both in and
out of lectures?
Below are just some examples of social media tools used by
lecturers
5. LEARNING ACTIVITIES
YouTube
Students learn in a variety of different ways
- Some prefer to read out of text books
- Some prefer work based learning activites
- Some prefer visual based learning (here's where YouTube comes in handy)
To aid this form of learning style one lecturer Published YouTube
videos which he created via Video scribe to aid students to prepare for
exams on his modules.
This was a great technique to aid visual based learners
6. LEARNING ACTIVITIES
WhatsApp
Many tutors communicate with students either verbally or by email
But what about something thats more personal
What about.....WhatApp
WhatsApp was used by a French Lecturer as a communication tool, this was
particularly useful through setting up groups for classes/courses to act as a rapid
means of communication in comparison to email.
7. LEARNING ACTIVITIES
Socrative
Lectures dont always have to be a one sided push of information
Students can also contribute
To aid a lecture that was revision based one lecturer used asked students to
download the Socrative application
The application was then used to host interactive polls based on questions
the students could answer to aid their learning
8. ORGANISING LEARNING
Both students and staff have multiple modules to
organise and collect information on...
Social Media tools can assist in the collaboration of
this information!
Google Docs Pinterest
9. ORGANISING LEARNING
Google Docs
Problems occasionally faced with group work projects, where it is difficult to find suitable
occasions to meet up and complete group activities.
Google applications solve this: Google Docs, Google Sheets, Google Slides
Tasks can be collaboratively fulfilled in real-time sessions
Can see live updates of others' work to allocate tasks accordingly
Can be used by lecturers to record weekly task marks, can be seen at any time
and are constantly updated
10. ORGANISING LEARNING
Pinterest
Collection of images and infographics containing links to articles,
websites etc.
Users can create 'boards' and 'pin' different images accordingly
Creation of 'Boards' to define each module/learning topic
Staff to Student sharing of boards - useful links and sources
Collection of information crucial for revision
Especially useful for visual based learners
11. ORGANISING LEARNING
Using a Class/Module Hashtag you can curate all the shared tweets into a story board
You can also create a digital story from various social media streams
A playlist of videos can be created to aid learning as well as adding a narrative
underneath the playlist
Create stories using social media. Turn what people post on social
media into stories. Collect the best photos, video, tweets and more to
publish to a storyboard for discussion.
12. SHOWCASING LEARNING
What use is expanding student experiences without being able to
showcase these developments to others?
Social Media platforms allow the sharing of learning and experiences to a
global audience
LinkedIn WordPress SlideShare Twitter
13. Professional networking site to build connections to other people in similar
industries or interests
