摘要:Students undertook a one-hour urban ecology activity based on the
University of Leeds campus. The aims of the session were (1) to help
students to link ecological theory to practice and (2) to encourage
students to begin to think about and develop an online professional
identity. Students were encouraged to tweet throughout the session
and were surveyed four weeks after the session to determine if the
aims had been met. A majority of students enjoyed the session
and saw the links between the theory and practice of ecology.
Most students also identified that an online professional identity is
important and something that they should be developing. The session
highlights that employability and professional development skills can
be introduced to students within a subject-specific context early in
their degree programme and still highlight the importance of generic
transferable skills related to employability.
