Taskr is a platform for students and coworkers to collaborate, organize tasks, and share ideas. It aims to connect people with common interests through collaborative projects and tools. The platform allows users to give and organize tasks, share ideas through videos and documents, and interact through projects, initiatives and discussions. A customer survey found that many users feel limited by current collaboration tools and have inconsistent ways to manage tasks, and over half would contribute to projects for monetary compensation or revenue sharing.
The session will provide you with a clear understanding of which social learning tools are available and fit-for-purpose for corporate use. Jane will discuss what tools organisations are using, and will provide practical advice on getting started and setting up informal and social learning tools so they add value to your organisation.

An overview of some useful product (and product types) that can help teachers work with collaborative tools that they can access from multiple locations. Provides images and overviews. Although this list is not comprehensive, there are many links to applications that are in use and that can serve as examples for ways these very open-ended tools can be used.
Sustainability Officers 1.0 To 2.0 Toolkit Strategic And Sane Workload Manag...Mieko Ozeki
prepared by Mieko Ozeki, Lindsey Cromwell Kalkbrenner (Santa Clara University), Tavey McDaniel Capps (Duke University), and Smith Getterman (Baylor University) and presented at AASHE 2012 Conference.
Sustainability staff are involved in many initiatives at a time, and often these are run in collaboration with multiple stakeholders. The Sustainability Office version 1.0 consisted of one staffer--it was easy to determine priorities, manage work flow, and keep track of programs and contacts. The Sustainability Office version 2.0 consists of multiple staff (or students) and a bigger presence on campus. This means we are faced with more “hands in the toybox” and increasing demands from the campus community. How do we juggle multiple concurrent projects, share institutional memory, nurture relationships with campus contacts, repeat best practices, and avoid past mistakes? Overall, how do we create a sense of personal sustainability within the professional operation of our sustainability programs?
Sustainability officers from four universities will share strategies they use to seek balance in the workplace. Many tools exist to help (or hinder) our workflow and projects--we just need to identify our specific needs and determine which tool is best for our work environment. Panelists will share tools they use to increase efficiency when managing staff and students, organizing and tracking progress of multiple projects, documenting and sharing campus metrics, and effectively harness the power of collaboration with campus partners. Rather than simply describing the tools we use, and the purpose(s) they serve on our campuses, we will share our thought processes and strategies in tool selection.
Vicki Davis and Julie Lindsay shared pedagogy and projects to do with Flat Classroom and global collaboration. Included updates from Flat Classroom Projects and Flat Classroom Conference and Live Events Inc.
