Social Media Research: Summer School 2025 Taster Session (FREE EVENT)

Summer School Taster Session for Social Media Research

Welcome to the Social Media Research Foundations online Summer School Taster Session!

Our Summer School runs each year towards the end of July and provides students with an introduction and exploration of a social media research tool known as NodeXL alongside guest speakers, a one-to-one session, and pre and post-event tailored support to attendees. Summer School attendees also receive a certificate of completion.

This event will provide a sneak peek into our exciting Summer School!

The next Summer School will take place from Fri 28 July to 1st Aug.

NodeXL provides easy access to social media network data streams, advanced network metrics, text and sentiment analysis, and powerful report generation with just a few clicks. Leading academics and industry professionals use NodeXL for their advanced social media insights.

In this one-hour session, you'll meet the Summer School instructors, learn about NodeXL for social media analysis and course content, and gain a basic understanding of NodeXL for advanced social media analysis.

The need to gain insights into social media has grown in importance with the increasing popularity of social networking websites in particular and social computing in general. As people increasingly participate in online communities for social, commercial, and civic interaction, new methods are needed to study these phenomena.
