The Learning Centre,
Course Outline
The term Web 2.0 covers a
multitude of sins - and many virtues! The terminology and jargon sometimes
inhibits the take up of tools that can significantly improve the effectiveness
of your services and the way you work. These tools enable you to share
presentations to promote your own and your department’s skills and
expertise; use RSS to keep you and your users up to date or to
publish/republish information; create brief “how to” videos and
tours of your library; tap into social and professional networks for research.
The workshop takes a down to
earth view of how applications can be used in the workplace and participants
will have ample opportunity to try out services for themselves. The areas
covered will include:
- Publishing and republishing information
– alternatives to the static web page
- Tools for collaborating on documents and
projects
- Using video, audio and images to promote
your services
- "Presentation" sharing sites
such, for example SlideShare, Authorstream
- Social and professional networking sites
such as Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn
- Creating and using mashups
The
sessions will look at technologies such as blogs, wikis, RSS, Twitter, social
bookmarking and “widgets”. During the practical sessions
participants can opt to concentrate on just one or two technologies in detail
or have a go at more applications to get a broader overview. The aim of the day
is to help identify those tools that are going to be of real value back at
work. There will be extensive notes and exercise sheets to guide you through
the day, and all the information and presentations will be available
electronically.
