Advance HE Teaching & Learning Conference 2018: Connecting global communities of practice through social media to enhance teaching and learning

This presentation will share how an Occupational Therapy programme of study has used social media to develop a community of learners which comprises students alumni practitioners educators and researchers. A range of learning opportunities has been created to enable students to practise digital citizenship in preparation for posting on social media in a professional and socially responsible manner. It has enabled a passionate academic discourse that has connected staff and students with a wider audience of key figures/authors within their professional field.
