Social Media and Technology Training and Seminars
The College for Social and Applied Human Sciences recognizes the importance of social media and technology training as part of a knowledge mobilization strategy.
Initially, social media seminars and educational opportunities listed on this page were informed by a survey conducted with CSAHS faculty and graduate students on moving knowledge to action. Since then, the social media & technology learning circles have evolved into a venue for sharing information and tools about websites and other ways to use technology to improve communication at the University of Guelph and beyond. If you have questions or are looking for a specific workshop topic, please email ICES@uoguelph.ca.
