Hi,
Yes we’re using blogs and twitter
for post-graduate skills training. Twitter, as Stevie says, can be set up so
updates appear on your own web-site and we use it to post notices of workshops
etc as well as following other organisations of interest http://www.humanities.manchester.ac.uk/humnet/acaserv/pgresearch/skillstraining/index.html.
We use the blog quite a bit, among them posting skills development
information, for example http://pgrdocblog.wordpress.com/2010/02/08/presentation-skills-for-pgrs/
We haven’t yet conducted evaluations with our students to find out
if they’re engaging with our blogs and Twitter but that’s in the
pipeline. The blogs are also a useful tool for our own reflections.
Best wishes,
Ann

Dear
all,
I
was wondering whether anyone is using blogs
or twitter to communicate study
skills insights and information to students or staff at their institution
(and beyond).
Many
thanks,
