The UK electronic information Group (UKeiG) is pleased to announce a half-day online CPD course on "How to communicate your research using social media, blogs, video and infographics" from 2 pm to 5 pm on Tuesday 23rd March 2021
https://www.cilip.org.uk/events/EventDetails.aspx?id=1471643&group=201314
Overview
Opportunities to communicate research to specialist and wide audiences have never been better. Inexpensive and effective technologies alongside social media and blogging platforms means impactful scholarly communications do not have to take much time and effort if used properly. Platforms for communicating research such as Twitter, YouTube, traditional media and blogs, give academics and their project teams greater visibility than ever before. Infographics, data visualisation, podcasts and animation provide quick and simple ways to disseminate research and ideas if you find your voice, audience and the time. Many of these tools are free and can work in tandem to create a visual identity for any academic regardless of their field of work. In addition, researchers will be empowered to reach diverse new audiences that are not just academic peers, but publishers, editors, fund holders and the general public.
Topics covered include:
Starting out and maximising Twitter for research communications
Creating infographics, data visualisations and posters
Research blogging - how to turn a piece of research into a blog or media article
Getting visual - tools to help you turn a piece of research into a video presentation, screencast or animation.
The focus of the course is to deliver an overview of the many tools you can use to help you communicate research and work smarter. The objective of the afternoon is to help attendees go away with a digital toolset and skills they can use to help communicate and share their work. Attendees will learn the basics of social media in an academic setting and we will demystify some of the barriers that may have put attendees off from using these tools in a professional setting. Attention will be paid to the various ethical issues to working more on the web from copyright and Creative Commons to making more use of mobile devices. In addition, the session will touch on altmetrics, reputation management and how to conduct yourself online professionally.
Who should attend?
This course will be of interest to researchers, masters and PhD students, research support staff and managers, library and information professionals, communications and marketing professionals.
