As part of the social media strategy to get the word out about SIDLIT 2015 (or #SIDLIT2015) and to prime participants, a small sub-committee of the C2C Steering Committee launched an 11-week countdown to the event.



They defined a number of topics-of-interest (from conversations on C2C and topics proposed for the SIDLIT conference) and launched, to see what Twitter communications they could spark. They were also simultaneously launching their #SIDLIT2015 hashtag campaign and raising the @SIDLIT profile.  They were also working to reinforce relationships and add more online friends.

The following embedded Tweet was the first of this series. the others may be accessed from the @SIDLIT account.  


Some lessons learned so far?!  Those on Twitter are a friendly bunch, and they'll "friend" and "follow" and "like" at the drop of a hat!  


The topics are as follows:

• May 18: Big Data
• May 25: Network Analysis and Social Media Platforms
• June 1: Social Media and K-12, Higher Education, Government, and Orgs
• June 8: Mobile Learning; Wearables
• June 15: Open Educational Resources (OERs)
• June 22: Immersive Virtual Worlds for Learning
• June 29: Geolocational Information and Physical Spatiality in Learning
• July 6: Gamification in E-Learning
• July 13: MOOCs and Recent MOOC Experiences
• July 20: Student Proctoring Systems and Others to Head Off Student Dishonesty
• July 27: Brainstorming Questions for Dr. Ali Jafari about Future LMSes

All are welcome to join in the conversation!  Just reply to the prompt, or post a message with @SIDLIT and #SIDLIT2015 to have your  message included in the Tweetstream.

@SIDLIT is a friendly sort of organization entity and would be glad to follow you if you let us know who you are!
