Abstract
The use of social media for educational purposes is a well established in the healthcare professional community.
There is an increasing use of social media technologies at live educational events representing activity at several points in the educational process. Previous analysis has focused on data of engagement and little on the educational relevance. We hope to go beyond this engaging the audience in a real time discussion both inside and outside the room to highlight and evaluate the use of social media in live educational events.
This session envisions using specific case examples from hospital grand rounds, regional and international meetings to navigate through the learners journey at live events.
Opportunities for engagement and discussion will include:
-Pre activity needs assessments and content development
-Reporter blogging
-Enhancement on materials presented at meetings with linking
-Network building "tweet up" and connectivity of learners
-Real time tweet discussion and questions during events
-Use of video and audio blogging at the event.
-Formative and summative evaluation techniques
-Archiving of engagement, online mind mapping and slide sharing.
We will ask the audience to participate in discussion engaging their thoughts on developing best practice. We will look at the types of social media that are used by both the learners and the facilitators in enhancing the educational activity. The analysis will engage many of the stakeholders involved in live educational meetings.
We will also take a glimpse into the future of engagement with platforms such as virtual communities at virtual conferences, simulation at conference, large data analysis of engagement in real time to enhance the meeting of learners needs and other new avenues of educational research.
Using the digital engagement from the event as a case study in itself an archive the event will be subsequently published using the qualitative data from the live events to draw conclusions about the effectiveness of social media engagement at live events.
We hope at the end of the session our learners will have a better understanding of the possibilities and educational value of 2.0 engagement.
