Web 2.0 is said by some not to exist. Nevertheless,
the new technologies associated with web 2.0 are increasingly
described in the literature, and most significantly,
are being used by your students, colleagues, friends
and relations, as everyday information management tools.
There are no rules, everyone can contribute, and no-one
needs to use controlled vocabulary or command language.
The
phrase 'social networking' is no longer contained within
the field of knowledge management, and there is a feeling
that the information chain has undergone radical restructuring,
without anyone saying so. People you know are becoming
well informed, undertaking the roles of search specialist,
critic and even publisher. If you do not know how information
is being communicated, then it is hard, if not impossible,
to find what you need, or even to be aware it exists.
This
one day event explains what is meant by web 2.0 applications,
and looks at using weblogs, rss, wikis, podcasts, social
linking and tagging, shared authoring tools, instant
messaging, and social networking sites, within the context
of an information management environment.
No
prior use of Web 2.0 is needed, but familiarity with
using the Internet Explorer would be useful. All terms
will be explained, and documentation, including follow-up
links and reading, will be provided.
The
course will comprise presentations, demonstrations,
discussion and hands-on.
