Using 'Web 2.0' Tools?

There are lots of useful 'Web 2.0' tools around and many of them can be used for learning and teaching. However, before doing so there are a number of issues you need to be aware of. LIS have produced a series of questions that you need to ask before using external 'Web 2.0' tools, such as Blogger, Twitter and Facebook; particularly if you plan to use them in learning and teaching.

The guidance notes were adapted with permission from work done by Oxford University Computing Centre and can be accessed here-

education is a serious business and students are entitled to expect reaonable standards particularly where we are directing them to use external resources as part of their learning experience. I see a big difference between controlling what people use ("big brother") and applying standards guidelines
