Building Online Learning Communities Using Web 2.0 TechnologiesDr. Mariam Abdelmalak
In this presentation, I describe how I use Web 2.0 technologies to facilitate the development of a community of learners among graduate distant students and how students responded to the use of Web 2.0 tools and to what extent these tools assisted in developing a community of learners. Twitter, Skype, Google Documents, Blog, and Wiki were intentionally used in order to build online learning communities among students. An anonymous survey was used. The students indicated that using Google Documents, Twitter, Wiki, and blog gave them a sense of a learning community while using Skype did not give them a sense of a learning community. Google Documents and Wiki had the most impact on students’ sense of a learning community in the course.
A quick introduction to these Social Media technologies: blogs, Delicious, SlideShare, podcasts, YouTube and Twitter.
Some suggestions / examples for their possible use in teaching and learning
How could you use them in your teaching?

Digital identity: developing your professional online presence as an academic...Sue Beckingham
Using the 5C Framework (Nerantzi and Beckingham 2014, 2015) as a lens, we will explore how social media can be used to connect, communicate, curate, collaborate and create, and in doing so learn how to:
develop a digital professional persona to share scholarly achievements
cultivate valued personal learning networks and co-learning communities
benefit from 'working (and learning) out loud'
find new approaches and practical examples of using social media
as co-learners share examples of effective practice and consider how these might be applied in your own contexts

Creating accessible information using Microsoft Word: hints and tips for ever...Jisc Scotland
Most people who work in colleges regardless of their role produce Word documents. They are used to create learning and teaching material, to produce information about services, to communicate information across the organisation.
There is a legal obligation for colleges to ensure that no-one is disadvantaged because of a disability, to anticipate the needs of people who might be accessing your information and your services and to make reasonable adjustments to accommodate their needs. One simple thing that everyone can do to meet these obligations is to ensure that the material that they create using Microsoft Office is created inclusively, doing so will ensure that it is accessible to a wide range of people who use assistive technologies or who have difficulty accessing text based information.
This presentation will highlight some simple ways to make your documents accessible using Word 2010 and how well designed Word documents can be converted into accessible PDFs.
This presentation offers an overview of the built in inclusivity features of Apple iPad, iPhone, iPod devices.
It concentrates not only on inbuilt accessibility and inclusion but looks at apps to support learning and productivity.
Presentation delivered as part of the ULib practitioners workshop at City of Glasgow College, Thu 14 August, 2014. Presented by George Harkins, City of Glasgow College and Penny Robertson, Jisc RSC Scotland.
Presentation about using social media tools for learning and teaching. Tools covered includes blogs, media sharing tools, digital curation tools and social networking tools (Facebook).
