Dear colleagues,
Effective Use of Social Software in Education
Are you using social software / web 2.0 tools with your students? For
example, social networking sites, blogs, wikis, Flickr, YouTube, Twitter
... ? If so, we would like to hear from you. We are most interested in
initiatives that have been running for some time (for example, more than
one semester) and those which include a reasonable number of students.
We are working on a project commissioned by the JISC e-Learning Programme to
create case studies of social software use in UK higher and further
education. The aim is to help the educational community explore the
potential benefits - and problems - of this new area.
The case studies and project report will be disseminated via the JISC
web site in early 2009. These resources will be of significant interest
to the HE and FE community, and should attract a very wide readership.
If you think your practice might make a suitable case study, please
email Dave Roberts ([log in to unmask]) at the Open University, UK.
For further details of the project, please see:
