  2. Social Media within Blackboard: Blogs & Wikis (and Q&A Boards) • Blog: extended engagement with delivered content. • Learning/ Teaching context • Wiki: collaborative research environment. • Blog: • Success? • publication + discussion = engagement. • Wiki: Nope. • real-time feedback. • Blog: experiment with ways of managing feedback and feedbackexpectations. • What now? • Wiki: design ‘collaboration’ into CLOs, learning activities, and assessment.

  3. Lorena Gibson Cultural Anthropology Moving anthropology beyond the classroom with Twitter “Twitter is just for old people” like me: lessons learned Future directions: using Twitter to co-construct lectures? Lorena.Gibson@vuw.ac.nz Twitter: @lorenagibson

  4. Twitter assignment: Twitter activity (3%) and blog (7%)1. A new research tool: Twitter as a way of finding and sharing online information about energy issues #Scie2012. Some students fully engaged throughout, others only at the last minute, some scared to start3.Rhian Salmon is developing this idea for SCIE 211: refined assignment will be more structured, clearer and with reflective component Rebecca Priestley, Science in Context, SCPS

  5. Xavier Marquez: Blogging in POLS209, Dictatorships and Revolutions What teaching/learning context is the tool designed to address? Alternatives to the tyranny of the essay: article reviews, informal reflection, quick responses Participation in a wider conversation and creation of a learning community What works/doesn’t work? Use needs to be sufficiently incentivized and structured, but if students blog throughout the term most really enjoy it Problems with different software products; need to moderate comments Future directions? More integration with role playing/simulations; experiments with different structures for student blogposts

  6. Notable (https://www.notable.ac/) is an interactive note taking application. Drawbacks: glitches with internet explorer; students can’t download notes; it is difficult to modify notes once posted Future Directions: recording application (coordinated with slides) and transcription service.

  7. Rationale (http://rationale.austhink.com/)is an argument diagramming tool designed to help students reason in a critical and structured way. It is also an essay planning tool. • Drawbacks: the programme can’t represent all possible argument patterns. • Future Directions (early 2014): dedicated ipad version; real time collaboration.
