With Facebook having some 1.35 billion monthly active users,
LinkedIn 187 million and Twitter 284 million, this worldwide
phenomena of social media cannot be easily be ignored by a
researcher wishing to share ideas and promote their interest.
These new forms of communication are changing behaviours
and expectations – ask any politician caught out by Twitter.
Social media presents new tools for research itself and new
ways to support the dialogue between student and supervisor.
Research has shown (Minocha and Petres 2013) that
researchers and supervisors are using social media in six
distinctive ways:
formal dialogue, informal interactions, documentation,
space for reflection, engaging with the community and
keeping informed.
In addition to a few
academic papers,
why not:
Share progress to
date on
academia.edu?
A LinkedIn group?
YouTube (even
your own channel)?
Leave PowerPoint
presentations on
slideshare?
Create a Prezi
presentation?
6. Keeping informed
