Integrating Web 2.0 – some doubts

by

Here are some issues that have been mentioned to me (by academic staff) about integrating Web 2.0 technologies into institutional VLEs, and how they might be overcome.

  • Institutional IT policy can be a barrier – you don’t know what’s available.
    Fear of “what people will say”

  • How to cope with the student who goes “off the rails”

  • Managers fear adverse comments about their services and don’t see it as constructive.

  • Can cause horrendous” problems in mature learners who aren’t familiar with the technology.

  • Students (esp. mature students) worry about “breaking” the technology.
