Guides to emergent technologies and innovative practice

Are you thinking about using web2tools for research, administration or teaching? If so, make a quick start with the web2practice user guides.

The web2practice guides explain how emergent web technologies like RSS, microblogging, podcasting and social media can enhance your working practice. Each guide consists of a short animated video explaining the key concepts (such as microblogging in the example below), supported by a more in-depth guide covering potential uses, risks and how to get started.

Topics

Web2practice guides are available on:

• Social Media
• RSS
• Collaborative Writing
• Podcasting
• Microblogging

Further topics are planned, including: Social Bookmarking, Blogging, Communications and Digital Identity. If there are other topics you’d like us to cover, please let us know.

Licencing

The web2practice guides are licenced through creative commons, so you are free to use, download and adapt them for teaching, staff development or other purposes permitted by the licence.

Project Team

The Web2practice team are Will Allen and Steve Boneham.

The project was funded by the JISC Users & Innovation Programme.
