Diving into Social Media at UCSB [8] (flyer)
This two-part workshop will present the "hows" and "whys" of social media to those who are interested in using networking tools for departmental and personal use. It will include demonstrations from peer departments and hands-on training in a lab setting. Both sections are suitable for beginners but all are welcome.
PART I, 9:30 am - 12 noon
In the morning session, we’ll discuss the role that social media plays in higher education, identify policies and best practices, and explore how to develop a social media strategy with limited resources. Departments in different phases of implementation will share their experiences, including lessons learned as well as which tools and techniques they use to navigate the ever-changing social media landscape.
PART II, 1:30-3:30 pm
In the afternoon lab session, we will have a hands-on opportunity to learn the purpose of different social media networks and practice how to start using them, how to maximize each network's potential, and how to measure their effectiveness. Networks to be explored include Twitter, Facebook, and LinkedIn. Marketing ideas to be explored include how to use third-party analytics tools and how best to tailor your tweets and posts to maximize your reach.
