The whole study team met for the first time on December 8^th (Rachel, Karishma, Evgenia, Alinafe and Veronika) to share their interesting ideas and developments on the ‘day in the life of’ project. A mixed method project proposal was outlined, high quality literature searches carried out, thorough detective work on types of social media/student generated content at various universities, ethics applications revised, qualitative and qualitative study materials developed and an abstract submitted for a learning and teaching conference at AdvanceHE. Now if that isn’t real progress – we don’t know what is! Stay tuned for more updates on ethical approval and study set up in due course.
