The University of Leeds implemented blogs and wikis to support its learning and teaching strategy of using technology innovatively. Staff requested these tools and were trained on their uses. Blogs and wikis were initially promoted to staff to experiment with and focus uses on teaching and information sharing. Over 1,700 student accounts were later created as part of coursework. Future plans include full institutional support of these tools and integrating additional user-generated content applications once a new learning management system is selected.
