Social media and how Web 2.0 technologies are impacting education are the main themes of the new JISC Inform published this week.
Ewan McIntosh, digital media manager with Channel 4’s Innovation for the Public (4iP) shares his thoughts on the issues he thinks will resonate for the future of educational and public-funded technologies and Sir David Melville, Chair of the Committee of Inquiry behind the ‘HE in a Web 2.0 World’ report writes about its key findings.
The details of JISC’s digitisation programme are highlighted by Michelle Pauli, who gives an overview on how over £22 million has been spent to digitise over 6.5 million items for teaching, learning and research.
Opening up resources continues with a summary of JISC’s most successful annual conference – Opening Digital Doors and a review by David Flanders, a self-proclaimed ‘alpha geek’ working for JISC as a programme manager, on the organisation’s first developer happiness day.
