Yesterday, I facilitated a session called Mapping Social Media to Strategy. Here's the description: The session will share an overview of why the sequence listen, learn, and adapt is critical to implementing a successful social media strategy. We'll take a look at how to use both qualitative and hard data points to refine and adapt your strategy as well as the role of continuous listening and learning through implementation of pilots. We'll examine what can and can't be quantified as well as various metrics and analytics tools. All this will be shared through a lively mix of discussion and case studies. Takeaways: 1. How to listen to improve the results of your social media strategy implementation 2. An understanding of the right metrics to use and how/when to incorporate qualitative information 3. An introduction to analytic tools and individual/team reflection processes

"Who is using Open Educational Resources? This post marks the official open-on-the-web style start to our JISC funded OER Impact study.

Our methodology is distinctly qualitative, focusing on the 'why' and much as the 'what'. Why you might be using OER rather than why they should exist. "
