Social reporting

What is social reporting?

A way to capture soundbites, impressions, insights, learning from events (and other processes) in a social way by interacting via social media by using audio, video, text, interviews, reflections etc.

There'll be a synthesis session on Saturday which will pull together the results from all the sessions. Our work is on the margins of that but will of course support that as well.

So what will the social media team be doing during the event?

Documentation: documenting the workshop consists of reporting about each building block session via a simple PPT template.

We could also:

• Ask participants after BBs about the results of the session, bringing together some kind of meta-documentation that will help the synthesis session – either through video, audio or written interviews that we can re-use as is or just partly for blog posts etc.
• Yammer and tweet about the most interesting results of the session
• Ensure we collect all presentations, videos, take some photos etc.
• Have a few key blog pieces about the outcomes of the workshop and any interesting ideas that could be spun into a discussion

Tweeting - use #kmcrp

• Not a big priority except when linked up with blog posts or interesting materials - using WLE and ILRI accounts;
• On personal accounts as and when (left down to you)...

Yammering - use #kmcrp

• WLE Yammer to generate buzz/conversation/questions with external world? Michael, Abby, Martina, Ilse. Probably one message to summarize interesting messages for scientists.
