• O’Reilly 2004
• Second generation of the Web
• Web 2.0 doesn't have a
• hard boundary,
• but rather, a gravitational core
Collaboration
Interaction
customization
Openness is the core paradigm
of content, tools and services in Web 2.0 digital environments
From: http://headrush.typepad.com/creating_passionate_users/2005/10/the_best_thing_.html
The best thing about Web 2.0
is that…
nobody knows
what the hell it really means.
Even the ones who coined the term are still
struggling to find a compact definition.
And this is the true beauty and power of Web 2.0
- it makes people think.
Web 2.0 websites are different from those of early web development, retroactively labeled Web 1.0.
They are designed to deliver interactive, versus static, applications to end-users. Their content is characterised by open communication, decentralised authority, and freedom to share and re-use materials across a more dynamic, interlinked and interactive World Wide Web.
They are often referred to as 'read/write web' applications.
Ajax
Ajax = Asynchronous JavaScript and XML
Not a single technology – rather a group of technologies working together
Truly interactive 2.0 applications
UsesXHTML and CSS for markup applicationsJavaScript or Jscript to interact with displayXHR (xmlhttprequest) as API
Blogs (web logs), podcasts, and wikis constitute a sub-set of what are commonly described as Web 2.0 or social networking tools.
They increasingly provide international online communication and collaboration among nurses and health informaticians.
Many applications are available as libre/free and open source software and will run on all operating systems – eg GNU/Linux, Mac OS ...
(and Windoze if you must).
Blogs – some basics
A blog (or weblog) is a website in which messages are posted
and displayed with the newest at the top ... blogs often focus on
a particular subject ... Some blogs function as online diaries.
A typical blog combines text, images, and links to other blogs,
web pages, and other media related to its topic.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blog
Blogs – structure
A blog is usually edited, organised and published using a
Content Management System (CMS) ... many of are built with
Linux/Apache/MySQL/PHP (LAMP) architecture.
Blogger (www.blogger.com) - owned by Google
WordPress (www.wordpress.com) - FLOSS
Serendipity (s9y.org ) - FLOSS
Blogs – structure
And then it starts to get interesting ;-))
Other embellishments we have used:
- automatic podcasts with text-to-speech software
eg Talkr, feed2podcast
- RSS feeds – Feedburner, etc.
- tags –Technorati, etc
- added swickis and other things
- new for 2007 - accessible on a mobile phone
Conferences provide an opportunity for both formal and informal professional development, social networking, and collaborative knowledge development.
Web 2.0 tools, many of which are also often described as social networking software, afford connection and collaboration among individuals who wish to affiliate with one another.
Why do we want to provide blogs for virtual conference participation?
- not everyone can get to conferences
- what goes on at such events may not be shared with others
- so much good learning may be 'lost' to most colleagues – or those most in need of it
Why do we want to provide blogs for virtual conference participation?
- to provide virtual interaction for those unable to attend
- to promote the event
- to play with (explore) the technology
- to explore/research a collaborative model of blogging
Blogs for virtual conference participation
What we hoped for:
- lots of people wanting to post items
- lots of comments
- lots of readers
- demonstration of the collaborative model working.
Blogs for virtual conference participation
What we found:
- many promised but few delivered
- the principal providers were the main bloggers
- levels of use were lower than hoped
- reminders to people help in readership levels
- interaction is lower than hoped for
Blogs, interaction and participation – some evaluation data
- Generally felt to be a useful adjunct to events- Most felt was easy to use- Should be available post-event (archive)
'...personal ancedotes give a sense of voyeurism...being there without actually being physically there.'
'I like the first person 'conversation' style - as though speaking directly to me. Informal, easy to follow and relate to. If I disagreed or had comments, I knew I could add the blog to benefit other readers.'
Blogs, interaction and participation – some lessons learned
Must be as easy as possible to access and participate- eg wireless – or people won't post during the event
Reminders boost readership
RSS feeds to email/browser
Blogs, interaction and participation – is it worth the effort? - where next?
We currently do new clean install for each blog- to try out new tools – but labour-intensive
May look at one site for multiple events – but possibleconfusion here
We believe it is worth it, and valuable to those who douse it- but need to boost both readership and interaction
Podcasting
Giving education a voice….Margaret Hansen
Podcasting A portmanteau of “broadcasting” and “iPod” Audio event, conversation, lecture, song,
speech, group presentation Uses RSS 2.0 Enclosures + Podcasting
software (e.g., MixCraft) to let users subscribe to audio content and have it automatically sync to the desired MP3 device
“Push” not “Pull” technology Portable On Demand-casting Tivo for your iPod (radio delivered via blogs)
Brief History
Termed by Dannie J. Gregoire
A shared vision from Adam Curry and Dave Winer
(blog fathers)
A. Curry wrote iPodder Apple Script 2004
Cross platform iPodder application released 2004
http://www.ippodder.org
Over 10,000 podcasts online today

Listen
You can listen to podcasts on: Macintosh laptops and desktops Windows or Linux laptops and desktops Any other MP3 players PDAs MP3-enabled mobile/cell phones
Podcasting
Strengths
Instructor’s desire to assist students’ meta-cognitive skills
Keep up with the reality of the students’ lives and use of media (Net Gen)
Academic podcasts easy to use: faculty and students
Easy to access via iTunes or desktop
Now iTunes University via USF Connect
Students report being more engaged in lecture
Learning
“Podcasting can really enrich the educational experience and can be a tremendous help to non-traditional learners...People learn differently. Some are auditory learners, where listening to a lecture is great, but looking at a page full of notes is a nightmare. Students with learning disabilities or ADHD might learn better through repetition, and with podcasting, they could replay lectures to their heart’s content...”
-Meredith Farkas, Librarian, Norwich University

Learning
“…why not share a singlehigh quality set of notes, rather
than making lectures aspeed-writing test…”

Podcasting Concerns
Slackers will skip class!
Visual images not captured as in F2F
Remedy may be podcasts with video
Research
Empirical research being done

Lions & tiggers & wikis, oh my!
the ‘beast’&
‘taming’ itW. Scott Erdley
- a dynamic, group-developed web pages easily created and accessed via a browser
- content may be updated or changed by anyone visiting the website (open authors)
- allow for asynchronous group socialisation, communication and collaboration
- a tool for archiving documents, brainstorming, and collaborative writing
Wikipedia (www.wikipedia.org/wiki/Main_Page), Wikinews (www.wikinews.org/wiki/Health)
What is a wiki?

Case study
NI 2006 Post-conference 5 ‘groups’ Site hosted by group participant
http://kurse.ulrich-schrader.de/course/view.php?id=6 Site available - June 2006
Case study (2) Pro’s:
24/7 access Machine / platform independent Asynchronous communication
Con’s: 24/7 access Asynchronous communication Participant-driven
Case study (3) Actual use - minimal Email attachment versus use of wiki Difficult for most of group to use
Variety of rationales for this Lessons learned:
Need buy-in by participants Technical skills Time Experience with application helps Try with non-essential documents first to learn
Wiki alternative Online office productivity applications Example: Writely (http://www.writely.com)
Now part of Google (see G-docs) Main component
Separate site hosting the application Document available to invited collaborators Concurrent editing if necessar
Mainly asynchronous Basic tools of word processing or spreadsheet
Wiki alternative (2) Pro’s:
24/7 access Neutral site Platform independent No cost outside of net access
Con’s: Mainly asynchronous Net access necessary Downloading / ‘save as’ document functionality
Wiki & alternative summation
Pro’s and con’s with both More than these options Learn prior to ‘needed use’ Have fun!
