The Power of the
Social Web helped
unleash a revolution that
brought 30 years of
tyranny to an end.


The ways with which we
share information,
collaborate and acquire
knowledge
have been changed forever.


How do we Move Beyond “The Course”….
To Explore the Impact of the Social Web on
the Broader Aspects of

Academic Life.
