E07 Podcast: Effective Pedagogical Strategies for Social Bookmarking

gbayne — Tue, 16 Sep 2008 16:45:04 -0500

This forty-five minute podcast features a session from the EDUCAUSE 2007 Annual Conference entitled,
"From Information Literacy to Scholarly Identity: Effective Pedagogical Strategies for Social
Bookmarking." PowerPoint slides from this presentation are also available.

Collaborative research teaches students critical knowledge management skills, whether they are undergraduates learning the basics of Web research or advanced scholars defining their own knowledge domains. Faculty need practical examples and strategies to initiate social bookmarking activities. Case studies demonstrate how this has been accomplished in undergraduate and graduate courses.

Deborah Everhart, Adjunct Assistant Professor, Georgetown Univ., & Principal Architect, Blackboard, Georgetown University
Eric J. Kunnen, Coordinator of Instructional Technologies, Grand Rapids Community College
Kaye Shelton, Dean of Online Education; Asst Prof, Adult Education, Dallas Baptist University
