Social Software

Whether it's online photo services such as Flickr, social bookmarking tools like delicious, or other emerging practices such as podcasting or videoblogging, the Centre for Teaching, Learning and Technology continues to use and promote a wide range of social software applications. Many of these applications are supported by tagging and RSS feeds.

These tools can stand alone or integrate with other technologies such as WebCT Vista, Connect, or blogs to provide more dynamic and responsive learning experiences for students. We have consulted with users and delivered workshops on all of the aforementioned technologies, and stand ready, willing and able to adapt to the many new tools that are certain to emerge in the immediate future.
