Welcome to new Digital Champions!
It was great to see so many old and new faces at the Digital Champions “start of year lunch” the other day:
From last year we have Tim O’Riordan, Sarah Hewitt, Gareth Beeston, Bartosz Paszcza (all from Web Science), Alex Hovden (Physics) and Sylvian Patrick (Digital Marketing).
Newbies signed up so far this term are Amanda Herron, Hourik Sarafian and Ashley Stout (Digital Marketing) and Nic Fair and Dola Majekodunmi (Web Science) and there are more to come…
There are a number of projects coming up that the Digichamps are involved in:
- A series of “introduction to blogging” workshops for students wishing to blog in support of their studies and/or professional development
- Social media support at the JP Rangaswami Web Science Institute Distinguished Lecture on 12th October which has more than 300 people attending
- Input to the Students as Creators and Change Agents (SACACA) project which is re-thinking the way we teach large level 1 courses
- Facilitators on the University’s Digital Marketing and Web Science MOOCs
- Experimenting with new MOOC features such as Twitter chats and live sessions broadcast via Periscope
