Jane Secker (LSE)and Gwyneth Price (Inst of Education)[both part of the University of London] are involved in a project called LASSIE – Libraries and Social Software in Education – which is exploring how social software can enhance the experience of distance learners. They have completed a comprehensive literature review and also have a blog. I was interested in their ideas for encouraging groups of students to use del.icio.us to share useful websites as part of coursework – I’d like to try this out with some of my students.
