The evidence on social media
Updated social media guidance
The Scottish Social Services Council (SSSC) has recently updated its social media guidance for the workforce. It's great to see and is welcomed by Iriss given that we've been promoting the use of social media for learning and development purposes.
In a recent Third Force news article, Anna Fowlie, Chief Executive at SSSC speaks of the benefits:
Grow your Personal Learning Network
Today we launch a ‘Grow Your Personal Learning Network’ online course / workshop for social services staff.
It is for anyone interested in learning more about the web and social media to support them build personal and professional networks and promote lifelong learning.
Building your personal learning network
People who can seek new information, make sense of it, and share it with their colleagues will be an asset to any work team
Why can't I access stuff on the web?
Support for your business case
Why am I not allowed to:
- Watch video?
- Listen to audio?
- Add buttons to my browser?
- Choose the web browser I want to use?
- Manage my own web access?
Capacity building for mobile learning
Simple and accessible tools to help you create, find and share learning materials
During 2012-13 Iriss, in partnership with the SSSC ran a series of workshops for people involved in designing or delivering learning.
Why?
The Knowledge Management Strategy for the social services recognises that web-based tools - social bookmarking, Twitter, newsfeeds, Google search and Facebook - are now widely used for communication, collaboration and learning.
