  2. School of Architecture, Planning and Landscape • Facebook in APL 2009-10 • Developed Summer 2009 as part of our Keep Warm Strategy to encourage conversion rates • Facebook Group Name: Architecture, Planning and Landscape Newbies 2009 • Designed to allow new students to interact before arrival , make friends, share info and ask questions • Uptake was high over the summer period but dropped off after arrival . Students mainly introduced themselves and announced their chosen course and halls

  3. School of Architecture, Planning and Landscape • Facebook in APL 2010-11 • Facebook Group Title: Architecture, Planning and Landscape Newbies 2010 • Uptake was similar to that of the previous year • Students were found to be creating their own course group pages for use during their studies

  4. School of Architecture, Planning and Landscape • Facebook in APL 2011-12 • APL group was converted to an APL page • In addition to the main APL page, student led groups were formed • Whilst the APL page is good as an external facing source of news and promotion of School activities, it is not used as a socialising network • Students, both current and future, have interacted well on the student ran group sites, uptake was high over the summer and continues to be active
