Technological advances are providing a bewildering array of platforms for teaching and communicating science. These opportunities are facilitating more creative delivery methods, whether in explaining the impact of science to the public, enhancing engagement or facilitating student progress through the education pipeline. Academic teachers and researchers are increasingly faced with the dual communication challenges of employing innovative teaching practices whilst being creative in promoting the impact of their research. New technologies provide a potential vehicle to do this, but also present their own challenges which range from the practical to the pedagogical. This symposium will provide a forum for discussion and dissemination of current and emerging technologies, including MOOCs, VLEs, social media, citizen science apps and games, online marking, lecture recording, podcasts and other digital media, and how they are being used to communicate and teach science. The session will cover the practicalities of their use, but also question their validity and appropriateness in different contexts. Throughout, the symposium will consider how the impact of the new approaches can be evaluated.
