Social media conference

Social Media for Learning in Higher Education #SocMedHE16 at Sheffield Hallam University 16^th December 2017

Jane & Lizzie

Jane Wray and Lizzie Ette attended the conference to learn more about how social media could be used within teaching and learning to enhance the student experience. As social media becomes more prevalent in everyday life, students increasing wish to engage with and use social media as a tool for learning and personal and professional development.

The conference attendees were from all over the UK and from different academic disciplines but with a shared interest in the potential of social media to transform the learning and teaching environment. Interactivity was key and the day started with a team session to develop on online resource to share with the rest of the conference (all done within one hour!) and this was focused on the principles of the empowered learner. Formal presentations followed with presenters sharing their experiences of using different social media platforms with students and colleagues. The key messages from the conference were:

• Don’t be afraid to dabble until you find the right social media platform for you and your students
•  For every different teaching approach and for every possible group size there are technologies that can support and enhance those approaches
• Digital literacy is increasingly linked to employability and is an expected competency for all students graduating from HE

You can catch up all the discussions and debate from the conference via the hashtag #SocMedHE16. Lizzie and Jane with the support of Kirsty Fishburn and Kate Heaney will be sharing their learning from this event (and other helpful social media top tips) at a faculty lunch-time seminar on Wednesday 3 May 2017.

Year 4 Clinical Psychology Trainees Community Psychology Placement Poster Presentations

These pictures show the Year 4 Clinical Psychology Trainees Community Psychology Placement Poster Presentations held on 15th December 2016. The event was held to mark the end of Year 4 trainees first community psychology placement. The trainees were on placement within various organisations within the local community. Organisations that took part in the community placements were HANA (Humber All Nations Alliance), Open Doors, Foresight, Timebank, Doorstep, Catch 22, Butterflies Memory Loss Support Group and Humber Community Advice Service. Staff and service users from these organisations were invited to attend the event as well as staff from the university. The trainees presented information from their placements and demonstrated the key learning from them. The key objectives for the placements were for the trainees to develop an ability to reflect on their social, cultural political contexts and how this influences assumptions, values and beliefs about the world and different communities. The trainee were required to think about linking theory from social constructionism, critical and community psychology to their practice within the third sector context. During the course of the afternoon trainees, staff and service users engage in interesting discussions about the work that these services provide and how working with communities who may be socially marginalised in their community is vitally important. Topics of discussion involved thinking about how power, the environment and social status may play a role in maintaining an unjust status quo.

Social Work success

Message from Dean Professor Julie Jomeen:

I am delighted to announce that the social work team have been successful in their bid for teaching partnership funding with colleagues in North Lincolnshire LA.

This is clearly an excellent outcome and a real positive reflection of both the SW programmes and the relationships with partners and will enable both continued high quality delivery of the programmes but also underpin future developments. Many thanks to all those involved for all their hard work and I am sure you will all join me in offering congratulations on the deserved success

Nicola Credland invited to next Teaching Excellence Awards Ceremony

Text of a letter received by Nicola from Professor Trevor Sheldon of HYMS:

I am writing to let you know that as part of the team, which worked so hard
on setting up the Physician Associate Training Programme over the last year,
you have been nominated for a Staff Excellence Award for your exemplary
work.
A panel drawn from Management Board looked at all nominations. I am
delighted to let you know that it decided your contribution should be
recognised and celebrated by the School. You will therefore be invited to the
School’s next Teaching Excellence Awards Ceremony where your contribution
to the successful development of the programme will be recognised.
The panel noted the impressive achievement of setting up the programme in a
very short period of time and your collective efforts as a highly performing
team to design, develop and have the programme approved, arrange
placements and recruit successfully a full cohort of students. It was particularly
impressive as many of you could not devote yourself full-time to this activity
and it had to be balanced with your other roles.
Congratulations and thank you for your contribution to HYMS.
Best wishes
Trevor

Positive Psychology Approaches to Dementia

Colleagues Dr Chris Clarke and Dr Emma Wolverson in Clinical Psychology have co-edited:

Clarke C, Wolverson E Positive Psychology Approaches to Dementia Jessica Kingsley Publishers, London

As explained by Chris Clarke: 'The book explores the potential for positive psychology perspectives and concepts to be applied in furthering our understanding of ‘living well’ with dementia. Each chapter looks at a specific theme/concept (e.g. hope, humour, resilience etc), relates it to dementia and also includes personal accounts or interview transcripts to illustrate the potential experience of those concepts in living with dementia'.

Nicola Credland goes LIVE

Nicola Credland has passed her interview to be a LIVES medic. The medic role applies to volunteer doctors, nurses and paramedics who have specialist skills and can provide advanced support and management in complex medical and trauma emergencies.
