Building a Social Media Campaign that Produces Measurable Outcomes If researchers are to truly move research into practice, some of the most accessible communication tools available are social media. Many researchers are already using social media to connect with supporters or as a means to reach the specific population that pertains to their area of study. This outreach can be measured for efficacy if the social media campaign has specific behavioral outcome goals. In this session, learn the GOAL POST framework for setting up your social media outreach. By using this framework, you can set up a program that is tailored to meet your needs. We will look at some case studies of other researchers that have used social media with success and answer any questions about how this can apply to your own projects. |

Social Media - Power and Potential: Lessons learned The power of social media can be harnessed to facilitate interactions, develop relationships, and establish digital communities and professional learning networks that support knowledge mobilization processes. Technological advances in social media have made it possible to not only disseminate knowledge and research but to also connect academics, researchers and practitioners, while building communities for partnerships, collaboration and sharing. Drawing from the Knowledge Network for Applied Education Research (KNAER) initiative (http://www.knaer-recrae.ca), the presenters will share the successes and challenges of measuring the impact of the social media strategy, and elaborate on the potential of social media in acting as a platform to develop meaningful connections across networks. |
