Presentation introducing faculty to Athabasca University's social networking system (based on elgg?). I particularly like slide 10 showing a fourth integrative pedagogy.
Landing is an Elgg install (currently v1.7.7). Brighton University also have (had?) an elgg install, open for staff and students to create whatever communities they wanted. Noticed that New Zealand Ministry of Education is also an Elgg user (according to Elgg site)
Doug Belshaw posts about "Attendance" and what that means at University. Some good slides to accompany on using digital media to improve L&T. "Embracing OERs, mobile learning and digital literacies looks to me like the mark of a forward-thinking learning organization."
Keynote presentation delivered to Instituto Cervantes, Providence, Rhode Island.Social network technologies are reforming the way we communicate with each other inside and outside our learning environments. In this presentation, Stephen Downes offers an inside look at these technologies, how they work, what they can do, and where they will likely lead the future of learning online. Downes will first outline some well-known technologies such as YouTube, Facebook and Twitter, describing how they are used and outlining how they manage online communication in general.
