JISC tackles the brave 2.0 world
' analysis
The latest generation of web technologies promises to support teaching, learning and research in higher education in exciting new ways.
Collectively referred to as Web 2.0, technologies such as blogs, wikis, RSS, instant messaging, social networking and podcasting promise to bring a step-change in collaborative working and participation.
The Joint Information Systems Committee (JISC) has made it its business to develop best practice in higher education information systems through a process of evaluation and support of projects to provide examples of best practice.
Now that a researcher can set up a blog in minutes, the process of evaluation and system development is in danger of looking old hat, and JISC is having to look at how it should respond to this new landscape.
