\nYork’s Knowledge Mobilization Unit has been actively building capacity for social media as a tool for research dissemination and engagement. In 2012, we published a book chapter<\/a> that presented some social media tools and how they can be used in research and knowledge mobilization. Last year we also provided a variety of social media workshops<\/a> including on overview of social media, a 2.5 hour twitter for learning and research workshop, a wordpress workshop as well as a workshop on building a social media strategy.

This year we were invited by the organizers of the annual Canadian Association of University Research Administrators (CAURA) to host a workshop on social media. The audience was research administrators but the objective was supporting social media strategies for research projects (even though we frequently delved into social media as a tool to support the research services office). Increasingly granting agencies are demanding knowledge mobilization or knowledge translation strategies for grant applications. In February 2012, we gave a knowledge mobilization webinar<\/a> for CAURA. Increasingly these knowledge mobilization strategies involve social media. Hence the CAURA workshop this year.<\/div>\n

We had 13 people show up, which was ideal. There was some hands on group work that would not have been feasible with a larger group. The presentation is available below or\u00a0here<\/a> on the KMbYork Slide Share <\/a>account.<\/div>\n
