      This site goes live in ealry 2010 I think.
  •  
    This is a developing service which will show sound bites of student experiences. I think this will be a really useful resource for the Scottish Employability Netvibes page. It goes live in Jan 2010!!

University of Sussex Careers - 0 views

  •  
    The ECN SHEEN Sharing Netvibes paged has helped inspire Darren Jones at the University of Sussex Careers Service: this is his trial page using Netvibes for students using their careers service. It's interesting because it's divided into tabs for subject areas.

    Darren sent us a nice Tweet complimenting us on our Netvibes page!

Census data - from the real world, for the real world :: October 2009 :: News :: Mimas - 0 views

  •  
    This is one of two stories published from the Mimas Learning & Teaching Project I'm working on- about use of real data services in learning and teaching to assist with employability and a range of literacy skills for undergrad and taught post-grad students. I did the research and most of the writing of this story, but it was polished up admirably by the Web authoring team at Mimas.
  •  
    This is the second story related to employability I researched and co-wrote with Mimas- this one's on the use of live census data in human geography at undergrad level. There will be more and fuller information about this coming later this year.

YouTube - bell hooks: Cultural Criticism & Transformation - 0 views

  •  
    bell hooks- 6 minute video about the difference between teaching critical thinking and teaching for "basic survival" skills and "getting a job" (you have to watch right to the end to get that bit). It's all about social class and the difference between teaching at Yale or Oberlin and at a predominantly black, poor, urban college in the US.

New Media: A Critical Introduction - ADM-HEA - 0 views

  • This second edition attempts the seemingly difficult task of assessing and illustrating a range of debates around ‘new media’ in a very ‘old media’ context – a textbook. Whilst the book, like many publications in these times, pays lip service to what it observes through the provision of a ‘companion website’ it is clear that this is a very scholarly, conventional and authoritative text and there is no need for it to shy away from that despite the appearance of a ‘disconnect’ on one level. The content is divided into large sections, each with its own bibliography, and these are thematic – change and continuity, virtual images / images of the virtual, new media and identity, theories of cyberculture. Each of these is broken down into a large range of sub-themes and each of these in turn is overflowing with references so we really get the sense of a ‘completist’ approach to the subject but at the same time the tone of a thrown together ‘A-Z’ or a cursory ‘key concepts’ is always avoided. The obligatory case studies (always a hostage to fortune in such a rapidly changing arena) illustrate the key points and I have used a couple of these with students – Kate Modern and the Xbox and its ‘social shaping’, but many are from too narrow a time frame so they are neither contemporary nor sufficiently diverse in historical contexts.
