Apologies for cross-posting. Please see below details of an event we are hosting here at Sheffield Hallam in December on social media for learning in HE. The programme includes sessions relevant
for members of SEDA which look at institutional challenges around social media for learning and teaching, in addition to the more teaching practice focused sessions. For instance there is one about developing a social media strategy for University of Central
Lancashire, another on tailoring resources in the UCISA social media toolkit to maximise staff development impact, and LSE talking about their student-centred approach to building digital literacy. Who could resist such a programme especially when you have
added advantage of a visit to Sheffield!

Social Media for Learning in Higher Education Conference
#SocMedHE16 is being organised by, and held at Sheffield Hallam University. This conference creates a forum for academics, students and strategic managers to consider
the role and opportunities of social media in empowering the learner. This year the keynote will be replaced by a “Key-Not” – there will be

Students are a very important part of SocMedHE,
and this year we’re making a number of free places available for students from any HEI to attend as delegates. We’ll be publicising details via Twitter in early November, please keep an eye out by following @SocMedHE, or email

Abstracts, recordings and presentations from #SocMedHE15 are

We had lots of excellent (and unsolicited) feedback from last year including:
“I have been to many academic conferences,
UK and abroad - you are the first where I felt that it appropriate to share personal thanks. Thank you - really, don’t be surprised, it was great.
There was from the outset a definite vibe - the pre-dinner was convivial, everyone friendly and the whole event seems to have attracted a diverse group all wanting to share.”
Andrew Smith, The Open University
“the conference was excellent, there are very few I go to where I feel spoilt for choice and this was definitely one of them. Hopefully
the response was good enough for you to be making this an annual event.”
Dr. Mark Childs Senior Lecturer (TEL), OCSLD, Oxford Brookes University
