Abstract
Social media is often viewed as an unwelcome distraction during lectures and
tutorials - it's something students use when they have switched off from the
pearls of wisdom being delivered at the front of the class. However, it can
also be harnessed as a tool to enhance classroom learning and even as a method
of assessment. Over the last academic year we've been experimenting with
various social media tools and using them in lectures and workshops to prove
to ourselves that we can do this. During this presentation we'll discuss some
of our successful models and suggest how these can be adapted to suit
different student cohort. The session will also feature an interactive
demonstration using a bespoke, free, open source "tweeting" tool that we are
developing.
