A blog about technology tips, tricks, news and events for learning resources and libraries. Whilst it often focusses on the interests of further education in Wales, many posts are interesting for other sectors too.

This Jisc guide from 2011 includes a number of short case studies. Two case studies in particular, "Students as partners in blended learning" at the University of Wolverhampton and "Engaging students as agents of change" at University of Exeter include reference to the use of social media.
The Design Studio draws together a range of existing and emergent Jisc resources which support technology-enhanced teaching and learning practice. Themes include curriculum design and delivery, assessment and feedback, and digital literacies. Browse the Digital Literacies area for projects on students as pioneers. You can also search for project materials on terms such as "student engagement" or "social media" to find additional project materials. Please note the material on this site is generally posted as work-in-progress.
The Jisc Mobile Learning infoKit is a useful reference source for the basics of mobile learning.

Web home of #uklibchat a weekly Twitter based forum for "instant ideas and collaboration" among librarians in the UK
Welcome to 23 Things, the course which introduces library staff to Web 2.0, Library 2.0, and new technologies. It is a partnership project of four public library authorities in the UK: Aberdeen, Portsmouth, Suffolk and Surrey, and is endorsed by the Society of Chief Librarians (SCL). It's being used by Aberdeen, Newcastle, North Lincolnshire, Nottinghamshire, Renfrewshire, Suffolk, Surrey, and West Berkshire, as well as by a number of other library organisations.
It's free to do - just work through it in your own time. At the end of each Thing, you'll find some activities, which you HAVE to do if you want to claim to have done the course, and some recommended followups which are simply to allow you to explore further if you want to. Record your progress and your activities on your blog, which you'll create in the second module.
