Undertake “hands on” investigation of social tools andevaluate• The relevance of the concept of “user generated
content” for practitioners developing and sharing knowledge
• How practitioners can work collaboratively to advance practice knowledge using freely available social networking tools
• An ‘empty box’ model of learning in which participants negotiate a topic of interest and build their own collaborative learning

Discover something new
Librarians wanted to investigate…..“the application of interactive, collaborative and multi-media based technologies to web-based library services and collections” (Maness, 2006)
Associate lecturers wanted to investigate……“how tutors could seek to review and improve how they tutor, through formal and informal feedback and also through engaging in discussion with colleagues to exchange tips, share best practice, discuss issues.”
Maness, J.M. (2006) Library 2.0 theory:Web 2.0 and its implications for libraries. Available from http://www.webology.ir/2006/v3n2/a25.html

• Knowledge Management (self selection, critical evaluation)
• Identity Management (need for guidance)• Technological Limitations (need good support)
• Enthusiasm and open to online group work (strong and weak links)
• Balancing physical and virtual presence• Broadening reflective practice (expert, generalist
and the grasshopper!)

Issues with using social tools?
• Are you using any social tools currently to support you in your work or professional development?
• If so how? • What are the key challenges to us adopting these tools
in a work related context?• Can we realistically continue to segregate our
work/personal/professional lives in the Web 2.0/Web 3.0 worlds?

Issues for librarians and others• finding help for effective Information and Knowledge
Management in ‘social networking contexts’• being “snappy” for the ‘lazy web user”• moderation, mediation or organic?• changing practice in instructional design (how interactive is
your learning?)• effective IPR in social learning spaces• technological determinism v user benefits (eg.Twitter-
extending sphere of influence or ‘white noise’?))• needing to be where the users are• Broader information infrastructural needs for distance
online learning -not everything needing to be ‘miscellaneous’!
