Last Friday's workshop was terrific; Tony gave a fabulous presentation on blog & wikis and how they can be used both as a teaching tool and as platform for project management within organisations.

Tony provided us with numerous examples of how the private sector has taken up wikis & blogs to foster team collaboration and networked knowledge sharing within their organisations. Many private sector organisations have replaced their static and centrally authored intranets with wikis to great effect.

He also demonstrated his own use of web2.0 networked technologies ie.blogs/wikis/podcasts/vblogs in his teaching @ Randwick, Sydney Institute. A great example of just how effective the networked learning model can be when used for teaching & learning.

Don't worry if you missed the workshop you can access the information on the Workshop 3 wiki page including an audio recording of Tony's presentation and links to his wiki etc.
