Yes it is a huge area and impossible for one person to cover everything, but I hope you agree that collectively the group has produced a variety of interesting perspectives and resources on the topic.<br \/>\nSome thoughts on \u201craising the bar\u201d for topic 3 with regard to your blogs and your overall approach to the module, now that we are nearly half way through the course:<br \/>\nInclude your \u201crecent posts\u201d in a column of your blog, so it is easy for the reader to navigate between them. A \u201ccomments feed\u201d is also a good idea, and an \u201cAbout\u201d page.<br \/>\nBe creative \u2013 rely less on text. For example, use pictures\/diagrams\/videos\/embedded tweets to illustrate a point rather than a long verbal description. There is no \u201cone best way\u201d but learn from what you like about how other students have approached the task (don\u2019t forget to credit them!)<br \/>\nSome of you are making good use of twitter in terms of highlighting your posts and encouraging others to comment on them to further the debates. But you can take this further &#8211; make more strategic use of twitter by sharing resources that will be of use of others in the group and that they might not normally have access to. For example, bringing in perspectives from your own degree programmes may provide totally new ideas for your colleagues \u2013 we saw this for example with <a title=\"Link to Andy's blog post on Topic 2\" href=\"http:\/\/andysugden.wordpress.com\/2014\/10\/25\/online-identity-or-online-identities\/\" target=\"_blank\">Andy\u2019s input from Psychology in topic 2<\/a>.<br \/>\nMake links back where relevant to earlier topics \/ comments where you notice a useful connection.<br \/>\nI\u2019d also like to see more engagement with people beyond the module \u2013 if you have drawn upon someone\u2019s work in your post \u2013 tweet them a link to it and thank them. You can\u2019t guarantee a response of course but you never know! Often these things work indirectly \u2013 you might not get the immediate benefit you were hoping for, but it all helps to boost your visibility and other connections may develop.<\/p>\n<!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on the_content -->","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Thanks to all of you for some excellent discussions about online identity.
