A blog about my research interests which include E-learning, virtual worlds, blogs, wikis and other web 2.0 technologies
Attended a really enjoyable and stimulating e-learning conference at Plymouth today. Here’s my session on Web 2.0 @ BU – Use of Wikis within the School of Health & Social Care (instead of using powerpoint this session utilised a wikispace)

A really interesting trip to the University of Plymouth yesterday to talk with Steve Wheeler (Faculty of Education) and Maged Boulos (Faculty of Health & Social Work) about what they were up to in Second Life and elsewhere in the world of Web 2.0. I’ve come back with a big list of reading and links (a sample of which is below…)
Steve’s Blog : Learning With ‘e’s
Maged’s Blog : Web 2.0 and the 3D Web (Virtual Worlds and Second Life)
Whilst googling (!) today I was delighted to come across an old Jaiku post saying I’d motivated PF Anderson to create a SL Healthy Wiki. A great idea and obviously she’s been a lot busier with her project than we have with ours recently (!). This is definitely something else to examine in more detail at a later date.
The concept of Wikis used as a portal for pointing to other web information is an idea I’m pursuing with the Patient Journey wiki (also in Wetpaint - snap) and you can find out more about this project or get involved with it here.
A good short article on Wikipedia by Jack Schofield as part of the Netbytes series….

More debate on the veracity of Wikipedia in Education Guardian as the UK Education Secretary is criticised for recommending it. Also interesting how some universities are now banning it from being cited by students in essays.
Citizendium.org offers an alternative - as mentioned in this September 2006 post.
Will it be Wikipedia written by experts ? Larry Sanger, co-founder of the free encyclopedia, is now launching a web guide based on its first principles…….
