Managing your digital footprint campaign launches today

DigitalfootprintToday, 29 September 2014, the ‘managing your digital footprint’ campaign launches. The campaign is for all students (UG, PGT, online) and PhD researchers. It is being led by the Institute for Academic Development in collaboration with EDINA, the Careers Service, EUSA, Student Information Points, Information Services, and other University departments.

There will be various competitions (you could win a Kindle, book tokens and more), activities, workshops, resources and advice throughout 2014-2015. The focus will be on how to create and manage a positive online presence (digital footprint), which could assist with:

  • professional networking
  • finding the right job
  • collaborating with others
  • keeping safe online
  • managing your privacy and the privacy of others
  • how to set up effective social media profiles
  • using social media for research and impact
