People drive communities, not tools
…but think about how tools drive interactions
• Learning is achieved through collaboration• All members of a community should be
encouraged to be creators• Research should not be exclusive • Knowledge should be visualised to enhance
impact outside of the community’s walls
Collaborative creation
Use digital tools to enable collaborative discovery• Think beyond document creation• Bringing new groups together in dialogue• Convenience is key: centralised into one hub
Google Apps:• Docs, Sheets, Slides: Office in the cloud• Trello, Virtual Whiteboard: mindmapping• Sites: customisable community hubs• Blogger
Expanding participation in research
Empower all members of institutional community to lead in research • Take advantage of BYOD to avoid need for
specialised tools• Provide templates and toolkits to launch new
research• Student networks are well-placed to drive
interdisciplinary connections
Stanford University: Cross-cultural rhetoric project
• Students leading development of communication/collaboration capabilities and resources for living in a digital, global society
• Innovative approaches through trial and error• Students generated own learning through
independent projects, facilitated by technology• Global reach and embedding change in the
disciplines

Visualisation of learning
Thinking about impact • Cope with information overload • Go beyond words to engage people in a more
accessible way with their learning• Increase visibility and interest beyond the
lecture hall• Employability skills for all disciplines-
Students can visualise data, concepts, trends, interactions…
Making it interesting
