Launch event for report on Web 2.0 in higher education A report that explores the impact that web 2.0 and the collaborative, social web are having on higher education in the UK will be launched on May 12, 2009. The report, produced by the committee of inquiry into the changing learner experience, also contains a comparative international review covering the USA, Australia, South Africa and the Netherlands. The report, titled ‘HE in a Web 2.0 World’, will be launched at an event at The Barbican, London and will be hosted by committee chair, Sir David Meville. He said, 'The report evaluates the challenges for universities and their staff in keeping pace with, and capitalising on, these trends and argues there are very strong drivers for change.' Ewan McIntosh, 4iP Digital Commissioner for Scotland and Northern Ireland will also be speaking at the event. The committee was formed to investigate the impact of students’ widespread use social networking technologies such as Facebook, blogs, twitter, podcasting, YouTube and the like on Higher Education.

This glossary provides an overview on essential tools for virtual facilitation. It has been elaborated by the RTVC team: Sofia, Hans, Stephan, Suresh, Lucy, Holger, Julian and Michael and enriched by tools taken from the Knowledge Sharing Toolkit of CGIAR. We understand the concept of virtual facilitation in a broad sense, so we have included tools for sychronous and asynchronous conversations. Feel free to ad the tools you like. This glossary works like a wiki, so every registered user is allowed to add, edit and comment.

Google's new communication tool due out in the autumn

This is going to be big. There is a preview at the wave home page: http://wave.google.com/ (It's quite a long demo talk btw). It is in alpha at the moment and they've unusually announced it now to get developers on board before beta release in the autumn (does anything web 2.0-y ever get beyond beta these days?) as they're releasing it open source.
