  • Teaching Online
    American Journal of Business Education – July 2010 Volume 3, Number 7 Web 2.0: What Is It And Is It For Me? Katharine A. Bohley, University of Indianapolis, USA ABSTRACT This article will define Web 2.0 and determine if it is “right” for you. The author has been teaching with technology for over ten years and has identified Web 2.0 categories that are emerging in higher educational institutions. A summary of seven categories of the “Education Winners” as well as a comparison of each of the winners will be provided. After reading this article, one should be able to determine if Web 2.0 tools might be of interest to them in using in order to promote learning in the classroom. Moreover, the reader will be able to determine what tools are of interested to them in order to determine where the starting point should be for them and their students. Keywords: Web 2.0, Social Bookmarking, Start Pages, Aggregators, Teaching, Learning, Technology WHAT IS WEB 2.0? ccording to Tim O'Reilly's, “Web 2.0 applications are those that make the most of the intrinsic advantages of that platform: delivering software as a continually-updated service that gets better the more people use it, A consuming and remixing data from multiple sources, including individual users, while providing their own data and services in a form that allows remixing by others, creating network effects through an "architecture of participation," and going beyond the page metaphor of Web 1.0 to deliver rich user experiences”.i If you are not a technological advanced it is challenging to truly understand the meaning of Web 2.0.

LUCRE stands for Local and User-Created Services. The project is part of the Flexible Services research programme, one of the programmes of the Strategic Centre for Science, Technology and Innovation in the ICT field (TIVIT) and funded by Tekes (the Finnish Funding Agency for Technology and Innovation) and the participating organizations. The Flexible Service Programme creates service business activity for global markets. The programme has the aim of creating a Web of Services. The programme creates new types of ecosystems, in which the producers of services, the people that convey the service and the users all work together in unison. As part of such ecosystems, LUCRE will develop an easy-to-use, visual service creation platform to support the creation of context aware mobile services. The goal is to support user-driven open innovation: the end- users (people, local businesses, communities) will be provided with tools to compose new services or to modify existing ones. The service creation platform will build on the technology of existing mashup tools, widget frameworks, and publish/subscribe mechanisms.

    Information Portals: A New Tool for Teaching Information Literacy Skills http://www.istl.org/10-winter/refereed1.html Previous Contents Next Issues in Science and Technology Librarianship Winter 2010 Debra Kolah User Experience Librarian (UX) Physics, Math, Astronomy, & Statistics Librarian Fondren Library Rice University Houston, Texas [email protected] Michael Fosmire Head, Physical Sciences, Engineering, and Technology Division Purdue University Libraries Purdue University West Lafayette, Indiana [email protected] Copyright 2010, Debra Kolah and Michael Fosmire. Used with permission. Librarians at Rice and Purdue Universities created novel assignments to teach students important information literacy skills. The assignments required the students to use a third-party web site, PageFlakes and NetVibes, respectively, to create a dynamically updated portal to information they needed for their research and class projects. The use of off-the-shelf web 2.0 technology to enable students to discover the latest information in their subject areas of interest provides an engaging, hands-on environment with immediate feedback on the quality of their searching. The authors provide a basic introduction to the use of the 'portal' web site. Then, the results of using this technique, for graduate students in physics in one case and junior/senior level undergraduates in the other, are analyzed, and recommendations for the integration of this type of assignment in other courses are given. Information portals allow one to create dynamically updated, personalized, perhaps socially connected web pages.

  • EDIT 772 (2 Units)
    Course Syllabus Title: EDIT 772: Introduction to Web 2.0 / Social Software Tools (2 units) Course date/duration: meets 2/17/09 to 5/4/09 and is taught via the Web Instructor Information Name: Rick Reo, [email protected] / Phone: 703-993-8536 Office: Prince William campus, OB231 Office hours: Tuesday, 6-7pm and by appointment. Course Description: The purpose of this course is to explore examples of a pattern of emerging technology use commonly referred to as Web 2.0. The course focuses, from an e-learning perspective, on the pedagogical applications and implications of a particular group of social software tools that facilitate web-based social interaction, content generation, and resource aggregation. Examples of social software include content, media, or collaboration management frameworks such as blogs, wikis, Flickr, YouTube, RSS feed readers, and iTunes, relationship management frameworks such as Facebook and Ning, and distributed classification frameworks (or social bookmarking services), such as del.icio.us. Students will also be introduced to broader patterns of Web 2.0 technologies, such as, rich Internet applications, mash-ups (APIs), mobile devices, virtual worlds and much more. The course goals bridge three broad areas: to provide an engaging overview of cutting-edge social technologies, to identify and evaluate best educational practices for using these technologies, and to investigate the role of these technologies for e-learning. Social software has the potential to transform instructional practices and to support the creation of highly constructivist learning communities. Throughout the course students will learn about and evaluate best practices for using social software tools to meet different instructional and training goals.

  • The Role of Technology in Gifted Education Coordinators’ Approaches to Informed Decision Making
    LINKED LEADERSHIP: THE ROLE OF TECHNOLOGY IN GIFTED EDUCATION COORDINATORS’ APPROACHES TO INFORMED DECISION MAKING Eric Calvert A Dissertation Submitted to the Graduate College of Bowling Green State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements of the degree of DOCTOR OF EDUCATION May 2012 Committee: Terry L. Herman, Advisor John Tisak Graduate Faculty Representative Mark A. Earley Lisa Huelskamp Patrick D. Pauken ii © 2011 Eric C. Calvert All Rights Reserved iii ABSTRACT Terry L. Herman, Advisor The purpose of this study was to explore the role of technology in the professional leadership practice of gifted education coordinators. An adapted version of the Teacher Technology Integration Scale (TTIS) was administered to 36 gifted coordinators recruited at meetings of regional gifted coordinator groups affiliated with the state professional and advocacy organization for gifted education. The adapted TTIS gathered self-report data on gifted coordinators’ perceived technology skills, attitudes and beliefs toward technology, and frequency of using various technology tools in their professional roles through 49 rating scale items. Short answer items were added to the original instrument to gather demographic data and information regarding how participants used technology to perform specific common job duties of gifted coordinators. Five gifted coordinators also participated in semi-structured interviews in which they were asked to describe the sources of information and expertise they accessed to assist them in making a recent high-stakes decision or recommendation about a gifted education program they administered and what, if any, role technology played in that process. Additional interview questions focused on the role of technology in participants’ informal learning and communication and collaboration with colleagues and peers.

  • Supporting the Health Researcher of the Future
    Supporting The Health Researcher Of The Future Booth, Andrew & Tattersall Andrew Information Resources Group, Health Economics & Decision Science Section, School of Health and Related Research (ScHARR), University of Sheffield, SHEFFIELD, United Kingdom [email protected] Introduction We are very pleased to be invited to present our perspective on current developments to support the needs of the health researcher of the future and to outline our vision about how these might evolve further. Our presentation will follow a five part outline: First we will provide evidence from recent literature on the Context of Research Support. We will then consider the Potential of Web 2.0 to meet the needs of the health researcher. After briefly reviewing some judiciously chosen examples of good practice we will outline some of the technological developments that we are pursuing for the School of Health and Related Research (ScHARR) at the University of Sheffield and for the Yorkshire and Humber Research Design Service. We will conclude by outlining the possible way forward given the extent of both technical and environmental changes. The Context of Research Support Perhaps we should start by coming clean – although we are both enthusiastic champions of the impact that library services can make within a health research environment this does not necessarily make us worthy guardians of the academic library tradition. Indeed one of us is perhaps best characterised with the phrase “gamekeeper turned poacher” having started as an information resource manager and now having gone over to the dark side of full-time academic research. Surely with such an information pedigree one would expect an almost model pattern of use of library research support services.
