Enhancing learning through Web2.0, Wednesday
16 December 2009
Medical Sciences Building,
University of Leicester
Web2.0 technologies continue to
grow, both in diversity and usage and have the potential to impact all areas of
learning. How can a bioscientist navigate the technologies of Web2.0 and why
should you bother? The Centre for Bioscience would like to bring together
examples of Web 2.0 which enhance student learning or academic scholarship. The
day will advocate useful approaches rather than advocating particular
programmes and be aimed at the novice to moderate user of Web2.0 tools.
