InBook Project and more....

LMC are excited to be part of an innovative Social Networking Project here in the UK.
Although it's not strictly LMC in Europe, it will interest our colleagues I'm sure. Working with Beaumont College, JISC and TechDis we are testing a Secure Social Network for students to get talking about and comparing their work across campus. Pure Web 2.0 and Based on Facebook, it utilises Wordpress with a customised front end whilst sitting behind a secure log (SSL VPN) including moderation. The name is InBook and we hope that it represents a new era and pedagogical shift, recognising the benefits of collaborative learning with a dash of socialising thrown in...
Along with our Excellence Gateway input on the DART Project (based around the Assistive Technologist Role) also run by Beaumont College we are building bridges with our colleagues on a local, regional and national level... hmmm..... Can we export these ideas into Europe? You bet we can!
