POSITIVE FEEDBACK
• “I like the multimedia aspect of the module, and use of a real facebook page highlights the problem of digital professionalism well. Presumably they consented to the use of the page in this module?”
• “The module was intresting to work through. Having the teaching in scenario form and making it interactive really helped to make me think about what is happening and put the concepts in to context making it more relatable.”
NEXT STEPS
• Promote the use of public platforms to embellish a profile, not to damage it
• Launching Social Media competition to promote awareness of great practice
• Customizing the teaching for outside use under license by a range of education providers
