Subject: Re: sharing web based case studies on using Bbd in T&L - the
scholar way
Excellent, there is some interest.
I suggest we use " intro_bbd_casestudies_jiscmail " as the tag, and we
can all add sub tags that are appropriate to us.
I was also thinking, this is rather exclusive for those who don't use
Scholar, so if people are using Delicious then perhaps they could use
the same tag (and I can re-tag within Scholar).
Finally, seeming I'm in a social networking mood ... I set up a
pageflakes area for the JISC podcast group ... this is simply a set of
web pages, publicly available that pull in RSS feeds - so we could pull
in the Delicious / scholar tags, as well as having an area that pulls in
stuff from our local support blogs - faqs, briefing papers etc., people
be interested? It will take me about 15 minutes ... but I'd need buy in
from others, otherwise it's just a waste of time. Any thoughts
Cheers
Andy
P.S. the podcast one only has a few feeds so without the community buy
it "ain't going to succeed".
