A FREE event of particular relevance for learning development tutors involved in mathematics and statistics support:

 

 

Creating and Maintaining a Social Media Presence – enhancing our support for students

 

Date:  Friday 20^th June 2014

 

Time:  10.00 – 15.00

 

Place:  Liverpool John Moores University

 

 

Social media is not just about sharing jokes and pictures of kittens. It is being increasingly used by academics to expand their professional networks, and to enhance the range and scope of support that they can provide to their students.  This FREE event will provide an authoritative overview for those who are still “relative novices” in this area, as well as highlighting ways to maintain and sustain this within a teaching and learning context. The particular focus will be on the needs and experiences of those working in Maths Support Centres or otherwise supporting students in mathematics and statistics.

 

This event is supported by the North West Regional Hub of sigma, the national centre for excellence in cross-university mathematics and statistics support.
