"academic podcasting as a key component in our impact and communication strategy"

Getting started... @JJJ John James Jacoby says codex.buddypress.org is the best place to start. Best advice is to use BuddyPress to compliment an existing site/audience. I'm going to try this out with my social media students - going to use BuddyPress as a pilot for GC

Have a look at this tool and tell me if you think it has any special new uses?

Very good approach - webcasts of presentations and slides. Lots of interesting topics such as 'Facebook as a research site'.

Following on from the lists of academic tweeters published earlier this month, we have put together a short guide to using Twitter in university research, teaching, and impact activities, available to download as a PDF. How can Twitter, which limits users to 140 characters per tweet, have any relevance to universities and academia, where journal articles are 3,000 to 8,000 words long, and where books contain 80,000 words? Can anything of academic value ever be said in just 140 characters? We have put together a short guide answering these questions, showing new users how to get started on Twitter and hone their tweeting style, as well as offering advice to more experienced users on how to use Twitter for research projects, alongside blogging, and for use in teaching.

Great guide, Nicola, thanks for sharing that.

Obvious to you, amazing to others...
