Event details:
Presenting your professional profile online is becoming increasingly important. What is the best way to develop your online professional identity? Do we improve or hinder our career prospects by being online?
A panel of speakers will discuss and debate these questions and share their experiences of creating online identities, using social media and specialist networks, and being a digital citizen.
This event is led by DIAL ( http://dial.myblog.arts.ac.uk ) - UAL’s Digital Integration into Arts Learning project, which aims to improve graduate employability and develop confidence and capability in the adoption and integration of digitally enhanced learning for staff and students.
The debate will focus on two aspects of being online as a professional 'Presentational' (presenting & promoting work online) and 'relational' (being participatory professional presenting practice and specialism online).
| The debate will explore the challenges, limitations and benefits of how, what and why we use being online to build and enhance our careers: How the debate be structured? | |
