I’ve been thinking that it might be a good idea to do a Facebook advert for our Student Development Facebook page during freshers’ week. Having had a quick look at the guidance it looks like adverts can be very specifically targeted. There are three steps to putting one up: design your advert targeting campaigns pricing and scheduling So [...]
I’m going down to the University of Bournemouth on Wednesday to talk to their First Year Experience Special Interest Group about our experience of using Facebook and Twitter to try to facilitate student engagement with student development issues. Here are my slides. You’ll notice an uncanny resemblance to a previous presentation – but I have moved it [...]
Part of my role in Student Development involves overseeing publicity. When I started in the role 18 months ago we were using only traditional forms of media to communicate with students; flyers, posters, emails and our website (all broadcast media that allow little or no two-way communication and simply pushes information to recipients). Since last [...]
Recently I said I was feeling a bit behind the curve on Facebook pages so I’ve been thinking about it a lot lately including the other week when I put up a post Trying to get beyond ‘Likes’. I’m going to put a Like box in here – just because I can now ;) Well, [...]

I’m not a techie, but I have been using [...]

I’ve just realised that if you edit a news item in Plone that’s already published and then save the changes it acts like a newly published item. How do I know this interesting piece of information, I hear you cry? Well, it’s funny you should ask that… Yesterday I was showing a colleague how to [...]
I put up a rather lame post last week called Image suggestions please. It didn’t result in any suggestions but it did prompt me to think about it more and do something about it. So here are the images I came up with. They look a bit corporate but at least they are consistent and [...]
The little image icons I use on Twitter and Facebook for our Student Development accounts are a bit limited and don’t even match (the Twitter one was always meant to be temporary). So bearing in mind we’re not supposed to have logos, has anyone got any good suggestions of what I can use instead?
I’ve had two meetings recently where I’ve been able to glean some useful advice regarding Student Development’s use of Facebook. The first was with David Morgan a couple of Friday’s ago (after which I shared his really helpful social media guidelines) and the second with Alan Cann and Jennifer Jones last Friday. The meetings were [...]
