This forty-minute podcast of the panel discussion, "Social Software in Higher Education: Isolated Accidents or the Start of Something Big?", was recorded at the EDUCAUSE 2007 Annual Conference. There is also a PowerPoint available for this session.

Blogs, wikis, and networking tools appear to be gaining widespread acceptance. How are higher education professionals using social software tools in their practice? Is there any convergence with what students using them bring to the institution? This podcast features a panel exploring these questions and trying to determine if there are international differentiators.

The discussion participants include:

Bas Cordewener, Manager International Collaboration, SURFfoundation
Eja Kliphuis, Educational Consultant, INHOLLAND University of Professional Education
Julie K. Little, Interim Director, ELI, EDUCAUSE
Cyprien P. Lomas, Director, Learning Centre, The University of British Columbia

Yes, they push the envelope, but they also offer partnership for identifying what’s scalable and sustainable for broader use. Our panelist share their campus perspectives on adopting emerging technologies from Web 2.0 to virtual worlds, their successes and challenges, and the partnerships they’ve formed.
