Disseminating
A selection of resources to help you develop your disseminating skills.
About
Disseminating is the literacy which enables learners to succinctly summarise and share their work and ideas. It has a dynamic relationship with knowledge creation but focuses on the communication, rather than creation, of ideas.
Disseminating effectively creates a strong and influential public identity. Digital curation is an important element of this.
Disseminating your work with an audience is an important part of the research process, and can happen in many different ways, from publishing a paper through to tweeting.
