In this Jisc guide, three case studies explore how institutions have successfully engaged students as agents of change. With raised student expectations, institutions need to develop innovative ways to deliver the curriculum to maintain a high level learning experience. Technology has a key role to play in many innovative learning experiences and students are often quicker to identify potential solutions than staff. By seeing students as partners in the delivery of their education, institutions benefit from fresh perspectives while students gain a sense of empowerment and skills valued by employers.

A list of Jisc programmes and projects which have investigated social media, social networking or Web 2.0 tools. It includes an overview of the key issues. The project pages usually offer case studies or examples which may be useful to others thinking of going down the same route. Please note that older projects may contain information that is no longer current, but could still offer valid lessons.
One of a series of guides collating evidence and learning from 23 projects within the Jisc Building Capacity programme (2010/11). Each focusses on an institutional strategic aim, describing how projects built their capacity to meet that aim. This guide looks at supporting student retention through enhancing the first year experience. At Birkbeck the project was proposed in response to a new retention strategy. Edge Hill University has a strategic aim to improve student retention and success. Their focus has been on enhancing the student experience from acceptance of a place to transition into a first year student. The University of Cumbria has also been addressing the same issue, with its primary focus being on widening participation. Drawing on examples from the projects, Jisc says that in conjunction with other approaches, "Social media incorporating staff and student generated content can be used to develop a feeling of community and can support pedagogic approaches."
The Jisc Web2practice guides cover the following topics: Social Media, RSS, Collaborative Writing, Podcasting and Microblogging. They were produced ca 2009.
