ELI In Conversation: The Fear 2.0 Group
Created by Gerry Bayne (EDUCAUSE) on June 12, 2008

Web 2.0 tools have the power to transform education. Such a transformation requires that faculty, students, and institutions take risks. With those risks comes fear, which is often unarticulated. How do you tackle this fear and make real change?

In this 43 minute podcast we feature a conversation from the ELI 2008 Annual Meeting. Our particpants consist of a group of five higher ed professionals who co-presented the session, "Who's Afraid of Blogs, Wikis, Podcasts, and the Big Bad CMS? A Digi-Drama About Fear 2.0."

7 Things You Should Know About Flickr
Added by the EDUCAUSE Librarian
Title:7 Things You Should Know About Flickr (ID: ELI7034)
Origin:Contributed by EDUCAUSE Learning Initiative, 7 Things You Should Know (02/15/2008)
Type:Articles, Papers, and Reports
Abstract:

Flickr is a photo-sharing website where anyone can upload and tag photos, browse others' photos, and add comments and annotations. Users can create photo sets and collections to manage content and participate in topical groups to cultivate a sense of community. Although Flickr is ostensibly for photos, the site might more aptly be described as a venue for sharing experiences and building relationships. The site provides the tools, but the value derives from the contributions of the user community -- photos, comments, ratings, and organization -- and the connections that the site facilitates between individuals. In this way, Flickr embodies what has come to be known as Web 2.0 technology.

ELI In Conversation: Web 2.0 and Digital Storytelling
Created by Gerry Bayne (EDUCAUSE) on February 06, 2008

In this podcast we feature a conversation with Bryan Alexander, Director for Research at the National Institute for Technology and Liberal Education (NITLE) , and Gail Matthews-DeNatale, Associate Director for Academic Technology at Simmons College . This discussion was recorded at the ELI 2008 Annual Meeting in San Antonio, Texas.

Digital storytelling merges leading-edge technology with age-old storytelling processes. Digital stories are typically in video format but can also include Web pages, digital maps, and other emerging technology mashups. With the addition of a Web 2.0 focus, audience also becomes co-author. How do these concepts apply to pedagogy and how can instructors evaluate and assess the process and final product?

Gail Matthews-DeNatale presented a session at ELI 2008 entitled, "Digital Story Making: Understanding the Learner's Perspective".

Supporting Knowledge Creation: Using Wikis for Group Collaboration
Added by the EDUCAUSE Librarian
Title:Supporting Knowledge Creation: Using Wikis for Group Collaboration (ID: ERB0803)
Author(s):Chelsea Harper (Central Queensland University) and Kate Watson (University of the Sunshine Coast)
Origin:Documents Contributed by ECAR, Research Bulletins (02/05/2008)
Type:Articles, Papers, and Reports
Abstract:

This research bulletin examines the wiki philosophy and how it fits within the Web 2.0 context. While wikis offer a number of benefits for supporting knowledge creation in collaborative groups, the literature suggests a strong need to establish conventions to enable long-term success. Based on an extensive literature review, the results of a research project into blog and wiki use in Australian libraries, and evaluations of the wiki installation of the RUBRIC Project sponsored by the Australian Commonwealth Department of Education, Science, and Training, the bulletin also examines how wiki technology can enable the online collaborative process.

Citation for this work: Watson, Kate, and Chelsea Harper. "Supporting Knowledge Creation: Using Wikis for Group Collaboration" (Research Bulletin, Issue 3). Boulder, CO: EDUCAUSE Center for Applied Research, 2008, available from http://www.educause.edu/ecar.

Zoho Notebooks Goes Public - Imagine the Educational Potential
Created by Jeff VanDrimmelen (University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill) on May 22, 2007

I ran across Zoho Notebook a while ago, but it was only in private Beta… well today it went public. Here is a short video introducing some of the features!

Now just imagine what you could do with this in education! Students keeping track of not only notes but all of their online content… video’s, RSS reads, webpages (marked up), audio, embedded html (like an online calendar) that automatically updates… WOW! Beyond all that, it is accessible everywhere and backed up on Zoho’s servers!
