It’s possible I’m getting ahead of myself here, but if there were a second edition of Social Media for Academics at some point in the future, these are some topics I’d like to include:
- Reddit and how to use it academically
- Snapchat and how to use it academically
- Instagram and how to use it academically
- Image creation tools like Pablo and Word Swag
- More info about copyright & finding images you can use
- More info about podcasts/micro-podcasts and how to promote them
- A guide to recording lectures & seminars etc (including ethics & etiquette)
- Mailing lists and how they might continue to be used
- Cloud based task management software & how to use it academically
- A clearer framework for analysing your workflow & deciding which tools are right you
- Much more info about collaboration software like Slack and Basecamp, as well as case studies about how they can be used on academic projects
- Academic uses of Tumblr
- Using Stack Exchange and Quora (and other forms of crowdsourcing)
- Using web forums for academic purposes
- Academic Video Blogging
- The politics and practicalities of content ownership: owning your own domain etc.
Does anyone have suggestions of other topics I should cover? I’m going to come back to this list and edit it as more occur to me.
