The Value Of Blogging
Made 26 articles available through UCL’s Open
Access Repository
Wrote a blog post about each paper and tweeted
about each paper
Posts went beyond paper content
Papers went from 1 to 2 downloads to 70
downloads within 24 hours

Today’s Multi-Purpose Content
Reuse
The materials have been created so that they can
be reused in different talks
Several slides (mainly visual) have been
repurposed from other sources
The change is in the manner of presentation
Images have been captured directly to reuse work
already completed
Quickly incorporated using FastStone Capture
The slides will be distributed through the HEA and
through SlideShare
Today’s Strategy
Slides deliberately contain both text and images
Although some sources on presentation skills suggest that images
should be dominant, this is of limited use when viewing the electronic
version of the presentation
The slides do (unavoidably) contain direct and
indirect examples of self-promotion
The slides include direct hyperlinks so that these
become “clickable” within SlideShare
21
Slide Format
Direct – post the SlideShare
Post short videos based on the content
Review individual slides for textual content
Review the Twitter feed (#heaprofpres) for
examples of the main areas found to be
interesting by delegates
(“5 Professional Presence Sites That Computing Academics Should
Be Using Right Now”)
22
Future Post Ideas
Upcoming Strategies
Develop content to suit different levels of
audiences
High quality content for your own blog and sites
Content focused towards the needs of different stakeholders for
other sites, but this can also include self-publicity
Content doesn’t need to be time consuming, and
it can be visual and creative
Content should demonstrate your wider interests
and expertise
Continued Content
