Happy New Year everyone and here’s to a positive and productive 2007 . . . I hope this year brings much to you and your e-learning efforts

Towards the end of last year, we held our final lunchtime seminar for 2006 at CIT, Southside campus. Judi Martin, a teacher from Library Studies (ably assisted by her colleague Andrew Shiells) led our discussion on the topic of collaborating online. The Library Studies teachers have set up a wiki to encourage students to collaborate on ideas and procedures they are required to learn during their studies.

The following audio is a slightly edited version of the discussion from the seminar. In this audio clip, Judi explains the way the Library Studies wiki is used (using the free service Wikispaces) and shares her hopes and ideas for its continual use with fellow teachers and students.
