Resource page using the 3E Enhance. Extend, Empower framework to encourage academic use of Moodle. Would be interesting to know the success rate.

Does HE require minimum standards for LMS / VLE use? Post suggests students at least expect so.

NZ uni websites review, focusing on social media, connections with stakeholders, and how discoverable this info is.

Students keep learning when video lectures available. Some useful comments.

Enhancing Students' Learning Experiences Through the Use of Digital Storytelling

"Tweeting students were found to have a GPA (grade point average) half a point higher than other students."

Like Votapedia, create audience polls that can be answered using SMS, Twitter, website etc.

Ad hoc backchannel that doesn't need users to create accounts or be on Twitter etc.

Student response system using any device you have to hand with web access. Looks promising.

Co-browsing on any platform without downloading anything?!

"To gain the full educational benefits of the major new investments in corporate technologies supporting online teaching and learning it is argued that a strategic, systems based approach to academic professional development (APD) is required. Such an approach requires a clear view of the key areas of potential and enduring teaching and learning benefit which can be realised from online developments, including an understanding of the changing role of the academic teacher in higher education, the identification of the desired professional capacities to educate online, and the implementation of a number of coordinated initiatives to develop these professional capacities in order to engage constructively with the learning and technology opportunities. Based on previous work, we propose a 6three model of Academic Professional Capacities Development for effective APD of online teaching and learning. The model can help inform the actions of policy makers, executives and practitioners in ways that promote an authentic learning organisation."

Another Michael Wesch presentation on youth culture and how changing media changes our engagement.

"In this seminar, Alan Cann of the University of Leicester considers the potential of social tools for researchers, based on both his own extensive experience and those of researchers interviewed as part of a study for the publication 'Social Media: a guide for researchers.'"

Big set of resources on using social media. Mainly aimed at non-profits but many monitoring tools and tutorials that should make it useful for a range of people - education included.

I think that this is useful to help inform senior leadership. We might 'know' or agree with a lot of this stuff but getting engagement at higher levels may well be helped by Tony's well laid out post.
