Hi Paul

I will do what I can -

Here a basic JISC TechDis link I came across – www.techdis.ac.uk/upwardlymobile

I have also attached some of my notes I made as well

Everything else is on www.blackboard.com

Just to add I also got an email recently saying that Ning, the social networking site, is no longer going to be free and are changing how they do things.

I’ve been forwarding links on various people at my college, but it seems when someone requests information I have little to hand, sorry.

Regards

Hello Tyrone

This is an area I am also interested in, do you have any research or data you could share?

Thank you.

Hi Gary

I was recently asked to do some research into social networking sites and how they are used academically.

You may be surprised to know that some institutions use systems like ELGG to increase staff/student communication, monitor possible students issues and decrease usage of outside sites like facebook.

The VLE Blackboard has a messaging building block, which I just discovered when we upgraded to Blackboard learn 8 sp6. This could help.

It is also worth noting that there are a lot of mobile apps out and being released to help communication outside the classroom.

Hope this helps

Regards

Slightly off topic but I'd be interested to learn what different institutions do to address how non-campus-based students could be made to feel part of the University and integrate with each other, their tutors and the
University?
