Some useful (and simple) tools for Education (and Research)

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)

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” ...

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

WordPress (and WPmu) [the latter is WP Multi-user]

WordPress (single user)

the “back end”

front page

individual blogs on the WPmu site

you might notice that these blogs often carry the same posts

syndication—they syndicate with each other ...

this is one kind of feed

some course blogs on WPmu

internal tags

you can subscribe to a blog’s feed

students (and staff) on Twitter,

using the “hashtag” #arts1090

in passing, before retuning to WPmu—Twitter (which is indeed boring for socialising at times, but wonderful for

research)

my Twitter feed

eco interests

media interests

music interests

groups

Research Collaborator (only know him from online)

not quite sure who these are now!

almost “real-time” search for Walt Whitman

and, as everywhere, customisable feeds are

here as well

someone I followed and who followed me back,

as a result of preparing this talk

but where do feeds go?

Well, everywhere you want them to (almost)

you can subscribe to a blog’s feed

students (and staff) on Twitter,

using the “hashtag” #arts1090

or have a feed delivered

Some other WPmu Sites (University of Mary Washington Blogs)

some of the umwblogs courses

feeds again!

if I click here in Firefox ... this comes up

one place these can go!

Google Reader

(integrates with everything else “google”)

bringing this course feed into my personal Google Reader

finally, a research blog, which can easily and quickly feed into course blogs (and vice versa)

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!

Delicious—online tagging

btw—the Firefox browser has lots of great add-ons!

two buttons I’ve added to my Firefox browser

my delicious page

• all this happens via RSS ... Really Simple Syndication

Firefox picks up RSS whenever it’s available

but it’s more often than not there on the page anyway

... at the bottom of the Guardian page there’s a good descriptions of how to use the Guardian’s feeds

btw—another Firefox add-on replaces the given ads with environmentally sensitive ads

but what‘s this other button?

Zotero (basically an Endnote replacement, add-on to Firefox)

the bottom right hand corner of my browser

Clicking there brings up the Zotero windows

click here and you automatically

add the reference

tags again

you can add notes

this goes for all of your references

you can link references to each other

you can export references in a wide variety of formats, and I think there is a Word plug-in, etc

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!)

Zotero is courtesy of the Center for History and Digital Media at George Mason University ...

They make other open access tools

Omeka is one of these ... an online exhibition tool

some examples—and this could be used for research, community engagement (eg oral history) and teaching
