Hi Andy,
I think this is a great idea.
Blackboard has beaten us to it on this. At the Users Conference in
Boston, many of the Bb employees who were presenting had added lots of
related materials to Scholar tagged as BbWorld07 (or something like
that) often with a second more descriptive subject tag (e.g. hardware).
Cheers,
Malcolm.

Subject: sharing web based case studies on using Bbd in T&L - the
scholar way
Dear All,
I'm just about to run the first of our introduction to Blackboard
workshops - as part of this I trawl through lots of short case studies
on people using Bbd in their teaching and learning, so that the
participants can spend 15 minutes getting a handle on how people have
used them. This year, I've embraced the social bookmarking revolution
and I'm using scholar to tag and display in the course. I then thought
wouldn't it be nice, if us scholar users agreed on a tag (s) for case
studies then I could have a quick look, filter for some that would make
be appropriate for my audience, and then re-bookmark/tag with the course
id to pull into the course scholar page for the sessions.
For instance, if you search scholar using the " intro_bbd " as the tag
you'll see what I'm doing.
Would there be any interest from others to get involved? All we need to
do is agree on some common tags and then all should be fine.
Cheers
Andy
