Developing an Open eLearning Community In a Social Network
1. Developing an Open eLearning
Community
In a Social Network
Dr Anne Marie Cunningham, Academic Lead for eLearning,
School of Medicine, Cardiff University
IDEA:
Develop a
community of
people
interested in the
use of
technology in
medical
education
CHOICE OF
PLATFORM?
Needed to be- easy to
moderate, support
profiles, free, simple to
use, open
All the benefits of a year-round
conference, attended by friendly
experts, without the travel, ice-
breaker events, or that slight
sense of guilt when you decide to
go for a coffee rather than attend
one of the talks in parallel
streams...
I really value the generous contributions
of the community experts. It is an
invaluable resource for catching up on
developing issues, or finding the best
approach to tackle new problems.
THE BENEFITS OF AN
OPEN COMMUNITY?
Higher Participation
- Can learn from
community without
joining- Easy to share
discussion widely
