16. Identifying with ‘your island’ We used a spreadsheet to see what kind of opinions were coming forward and it was quite clear that three issues were coming forward from most people, so you thought if you weren’t in that consensus you’d be in a minority and probably you’d have more sway if you felt able to join the majority. On most of the issues I could but there was one or two issues where I said no there’s no way I’m going to compromise on that …I was Haiti so I was very poor. There was a lot of wealthy islands so some people didn’t have the issues that Haiti did so there was some things I just couldn’t compromise on. Student voice
24. Tutors surprised – normally they see their input as key (‘chivying’) Well now that did surprise me and I thought they did come alive a bit…we needed something at the beginning of the course which more or less made them do this so that once they got into it they quite liked interacting…I think we might have had a much better group interaction all the way through. (tutor 1) I was actually quite pleasantly surprised with that. They did better than I thought they would…they put a lot of work in to what they were doing, so they came up with ideas, they volunteered to design interventions and they specifically drew other students in by asking them what they thought.

27. A tutor using social bookmarking with Business students I carry out an activity of social bookmarking a few weeks into each presentation of BU130 - which I tutor on. Students have to carry out research into two work based learning topics and I find that social bookmarking is a great way to kick off their research. There is a compulsory topic on 'time management' that they research and so it is ideal for them to share any links they come across. What I like about delicious is how easy it is to use and it is a great way to ease students into using the internet and seeing benefits instantly. I find it very quick to login and install the buttons and away you go..

31. ‘ It feels much more like – how can I put it – more like genuine teaching if you see what I mean. I have a lot more contact with students…the level of interaction is much higher, much more enjoyable. Certainly the students say that to me and I find it much more enjoyable’ course tutor The benefits of elearning – an online Course at the OU UK: The Environmental Web
40. A novice user – tutor in Health and Social Care There are stages in adopting new tools (and forgive my assumption but I think this might be new to the majority of Health and Social Care students and perhaps a few of my fellow HSC tutors; ::::. Once you have been guided how to set it up you need time to familiarise yourself with the functionality of del.icio.us before thinking about the intention of use and organisation of your folksonomy; (tutor 2)
