The entire content of our BA (Hons) Contemporary Screen Acting Programme at the University of the West of Scotland is delivered using Twitter, Posterous and Youtube at the very core of Teaching , Learning and , crucially Assessement. From it’s inception in September 2010, student engagement with these platforms was developed gradually over the first 15 weeks of the programme. Social media in UWS (VIDEO) · dgmcgillivray.

Social media group. The first of the Social Media support group meetings (SMG) was held in Paisley yesterday and I am delighted with how it went!!

A good number of people came for whole or part of the time at all different levels of familiarity with social media. After introducing ourselves we had a general discussion about what we were already using and for what purposes. The bulk of the discussion was however around the use of Twitter. To this end I have put together a new Twitter account for this group – UWSsmg.

For those of you already on Twitter please follow. Uwslindawylie. Several new faces joined us at the social media group @uwssmg to learn about Twitter.

@CarolFerries from @CareersUWS was to lead the session. She started by explaining that she uses Twitter professionally to broadcast links and jobs and any other interesting information that may be useful to students from the employability link at UWS. Personally for networking and gaining information on a variety of topics. Hints. @UWSInteractive.
