Web 2.0 Tools in Learning and Teaching

Unit value:

Tools such as Wikis, Blogs and Podcasts can provide instructors with an excellent way of offering innovative approaches to teaching and learning, and of encouraging students to collaborate more online. They have a wide variety of uses, including creating reflective journals, aiding peer review and feedback, and encouraging critical thinking.

This hands-on session will look at some of the key principles behind using such tools and allow you to consider how they might work in the context of your own teaching.
