A few more careers tweeters

Further to I’m looking for more careers tweeters, after attending the AGCAS Heads of Service Conference last week I’ve found a few more. Coming from a background in learning development and learning technology I’m increasingly finding that I need more careers people in my professional network (it could be just me but there seem to [...]

 

January 2011 was the first time I attended the AGCAS Heads of Service conference. I was very new to careers stuff then (still am!) and it was a really useful chance to meet people. I’m looking forward to the conference this January, not least because I’m attending an additional day on 4 January for deputies [...]

 
Subtitle

Further to the change of name thing I think we’re going to go for I’m sure you’ll all sleep more soundly in your beds knowing that. Thanks for the comments to the original post, especially from Vic and Zara. Now all I need to do is think about how and where to roll out the [...]

 
Google presentation plus live twitter feed

On Friday afternoon I hosted a celebration event for The University of Leicester Internship Programme, otherwise known as TULIP (you remember, the one we got shortlisted for a Times Higher Award for). When putting together some slides quickly on the morning I thought it would be good to have a twitter hashtag feed as part of [...]

 

My involvement in actually writing this paper was, shall we say, slim. But nonetheless Alan, Jo and Alex graciously put my name on it because of my involvement with the project as a whole. It’s a bit dated as it took a while to publish and it’s a fast moving field – but published it is. Abstract The impact of [...]

 
HootSuite have finally caught up with me

Since blogging about our post-HootSuite options back in August I’ve been keeping a low profile on the subject.  That’s because, admittedly rather sneakily, I realised that if I neither up-graded not went free then when I exceeded the 7 days grace period colleagues I’d registered as administrators for the accounts could still access it. I couldn’t access it but [...]

 

Last Friday Marta and I went to the Association of Learning Development in Higher Education’s CPD event in Leeds and ran a workshop on ‘Using emerging technologies to engage students‘. It was essentially a repeat of the Engaging without invading workshop that I did in March last year but a little bit updated. The thing that [...]

 

I just saw on a retweet from Richard Hall that The Guardian have just released some social media guidelines for its journalists. You can read them in full here but the main points are: Participate in conversations about our content, and take responsibility for the conversations you start. Focus on the constructive by recognising and rewarding intelligent [...]

 
I've just decoupled the events feed

Having been quite pleased with myself a year ago for figuring out how to automate events notification from our website to Facebook and Twitter I’ve decided to turn it off. News items will continue to push out automatically but Vic, James and I decided that the events notification was just too noisy. Vic is now taking more [...]

 
Mailing list managers

An update on the Good old fashioned email post – I’ve now had more than 3,000 people sign up to our mailing list. With that many people on the list I need a mailing list manager. Obviously I’d like to push more of them to our Facebook and Twitter accounts but as Marta said in the comments [...]
