This is for a short talk I gave at the School of English, Media and Performing Arts at the University of New South Wales, Sydney. It was a just an informal chat to colleagues, and it's very basic.
1. Some useful (and simple) tools for
Education (and Research)

2. Tools—what to use, how to link them up
• all of the links (and this powerpoint) are online at http://
www.andrewmurphie.org/blog/?p=120
• most of these tools are open source (and free)
• all are simple to use, but can take a long way if you wish.
• all are things that catalyse education (and research) engagements, rather than
“replacing” them
• I won’t show you how to use these .. they’re simple and instructions online ..
but happy to chat any time
• online you’ll also find a simple list of tools (including some I won’t mention
today)

3. I’m not going to show you “how to do this ...”
• I’m going to show you what you can use
• And point you in the right direction to “DIY” ...

4. you can think of all this as various combinations of
apps, tags and feeds ...

32. and, as everywhere,
customisable feeds are
here as well

33. someone I followed and
who followed me back,
as a result of preparing this
talk

34. but where do feeds go?
Well, everywhere you want them to (almost)
Monday, 12 April 2010
35. you can subscribe to a blog’s feed
students (and staff) on
Twitter,
using the “hashtag”
#arts1090
or have a feed
delivered
from elsewhere

54. crucial point about blogs ... when you link to another
blog, they get a “ping back” to their blog. Since they are
usually curious to see who’s interesting in them, they
check your blog out. Before you know it, you have new
research collaborators!

84. this goes for all of your references
Monday, 12 April 2010
85. you can link references to each other
Monday, 12 April 2010
86. you can export references in a wide variety of formats,
and I think there is a Word plug-in, etc

87. however, you can also upload and synchronize your
Zotero library via the Internet, and share across
computer
whether these are yours
or, via the formation of Zotero groups, others you’re
collaborating with .. students, or other researchers (or
both!)
