It's not a PhD related idea, but who knows, it might becomes useful... It is still about using social media in teaching.
Another idea during my long train journey back home last night: to incorporate Flickr in the Visual Comm module. I'll set up a group in Flickr, upload some pics for students to annotate and analyse in a Flickr discussion; students could also/preferably upload similar images for the group. Would be good for 'semiotics' task.
I would need to do a quick Jing demo, to show students what I have in mind. In turn, that Jing demo could be used as discussion point (video demos would certainly interest the tech comm students).

Follow-up: I created a Flickr group and invited colleagues. I also sent a specific invitation to G since he teaches Vis Comm too and might want to do similar things with Flickr.

ReplyDeleteUploaded some pictures, for which I added descriptions and which I organised in a set. Accepted S's and O's applications to join the Flickr group, and started a discussion thread. So far things are straightforward.
ReplyDeleteA Jing demo about the Flickr experiment so far: http://screencast.com/t/qrZiuOrrKbq
ReplyDeleteNice contributions from O about how she wants to use Flickr in her teaching: she's thinking about getting students to elicit other students' views on pics as part of research methods teaching. A concern: how many comments can there be on one image?
