#SocMedHE24
Thursday 19 December 2024 at Sheffield Hallam University
The international Social Media for Learning in Higher Education conference was established at Sheffield Hallam University with the first “SocMedHE” conference being held on 18 December 2015. The first three years of the conference were all held at Sheffield Hallam and then in 2018 the conference was taken on by the social media in HE community and it has been held at a different institution each year since then. We are delighted to announce that the 10th SocMedHE conference, #SocMedHE24, will be hosted at Sheffield Hallam University.
The 2015 conference theme was “Finding our Social Identity” and the theme of identity became a recurrent and key feature of #SocMedHE over the years. In bringing the conference back to SHU for the 10th conference, the theme is “Have we found our Social Identity” and allows us to connect back to the original conference, the topics presented and discussed, and reflect on how we have developed teaching and learning with social media since 2015. You might want to consider this at an individual, group or institutional level.
The conference is community owned and therefore we will be charging a low conference fee to provide as many colleagues as possible the opportunity to join us in Sheffield to celebrate the 10th conference. The first three conferences at Sheffield Hallam also provided students with the opportunity to apply for one of 10 funded places and we will be offering this again for #SocMedHE24.
The early bird fee (until 31 October) will be £75 per delegate and the standard fee will be £95. Booking will open by the end of September, look out for news of how to sign up.
The call for abstracts is already open at: https://forms.office.com/e/E2BKHM6C0F and will close on Monday 21 October at 5pm (British Summer Time).
