The Chatterbox is an unique high bandwidth Skype facility launched recently in our brand new Majorie Robinson Library Rooms<\/a>. The idea was something which Jo Robinson-Lamb, <\/a>a Communications Specialist from NUIT, had been mulling over for some time. Here she tells us how taking part in our free online course, The Enterprise Shed: Making Ideas Happen<\/a> helped her turn her idea into reality.<\/p>\n

“The original idea for the Skype Booth came from the Digital Campus Scoping Project<\/em>, part of the University Digital Campus Initiative, which looked at how our students make use of technology in their day-to-day lives on campus. One finding that really stood out for me was the basic need for students to connect with friends and family at home – especially our international students.<\/p>\n

The idea stayed with me; could we use our IT skills and services to offer students the ultimate \u2018Skype\u2019 experience: a private booth, large screen, comfy seats and great sound so they really felt the person was in the same room?<\/p>\n

After further discussions with colleagues, the idea started to grow. I\u2019d heard about the Newcastle University MOOC: The Enterprise Shed: Making Ideas Happen<\/em> and the free online course seemed like the perfect place to share my thoughts and discover how to turn ideas into action.<\/p>\n

After sharing the idea in a blog post, I was overwhelmed by the support from the Shed <\/em>community and mentors. My post was picked up by colleagues in LTDS<\/a>, who passed it to colleagues in the University Library; they loved the idea, saw its potential and decided the new Marjorie Robinson Library Rooms would provide the ideal opportunity to give it a go. NUIT Audio Visual Services and the Estate Support Service came onboard too and the \u2018Chatterbox\u2019 was born.<\/p>\n

I couldn\u2019t have done this on my own. The<\/em> Enterprise Shed <\/em>helped me to make the connections I needed to turn an idea into reality and I\u2019m thrilled with the results.”<\/p>\n

Sign ups are open<\/a> for The Enterprise Shed: Making Ideas Happen<\/em> which starts on 15 February 2016 and lasts 4 weeks.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
