Today I attended a workshop organised by SEDA (the Staff and Educational Development Association) on 'Turning Conference Presentations into Publications'. This was an excellent event, with lots of time to share stories, write things up and get feedback. It was the first time this workshop was run, but if it turns up again I would recommend it to anyone who, like me, doesn't feel brave enough to face a journal editor.
It's not a PhD related idea, but who knows, it might becomes useful... It is still about using social media in teaching. Another idea during my long train journey back home last night: to incorporate Flickr in the Visual Comm module. I'll set up a group in Flickr, upload some pics for students to annotate and analyse in a Flickr discussion; students could also/preferably upload similar images for the group. Would be good for 'semiotics' task. I would need to do a quick Jing demo, to show students what I have in mind. In turn, that Jing demo could be used as discussion point (video demos would certainly interest the tech comm students).
