Good reasons to use social media

Social media sites have become invaluable tools in education, marketing and communication, for the University of Cumbria, your personal brand and your future employer(s). Social media plays an important role in every student’s life. It is often easier and more convenient to access information, provide information and communicate via social media. Tutors and students can be connected to each other and can make good use of these platforms for the benefit of their learning and teaching.

Instant online discussions

Social media is the go to medium for people to interact. Current staff and students, prospective staff and students, alumni, stakeholders and the wider community can all communicate with like-minded individuals and have their questions answered, make friends and network.

Relationships

The University, and its staff, can use social media to connect to students, prospective students, researchers and other organisations, but at its heart, social media is about creating relationships with people like you.

Students can connect to:

Students on your course (in your cohort or years above/below)

Students studying in the same field at other institutions

Experts in your field

Knowledge Sharing

Branding

Many people are increasingly spending a great deal of time on social networking sites. Social media should be seen as a wide-reaching tool to reach a huge audience and so getting your name, the university’s name out there on the web, in the way we choose, is incredibly important.
