e-learning librarian’s toolbox

Here is a mashable.com article which provides a list of what Universities are using Web 2.0 tools for.

I guess University students in the US are different to TAFE students in Australia. We’ve tried to get students to communicate with us using Facebook, MySpace, IM and SMS. So far they have only responded to SMS communication – although admittedly we weren’t able to promote the other services much.

I wonder if other academic libraries in Australia have had much success.

“Move over blogging. The next big thing has arrived. A new report by In-Stat indicates that virtual worlds are where the action is: the number of registered virtual world users is expected to exceed one billion and create total revenues exceeding $3 billion by 2012.”

I know … I’ve already set up several blogs before, but I’ve finally listened to Simon Brown’s advice and decided to stick with Edublog. I’ve set up this blog as a place to share all things relating to e-learning and Web 2.0 in education and libraries. Please subscribe or join if you would like to follow my updates.
