Why?
“We propose that the proliferation of Web 2.0 technologies and their incorporation
into the learning and teaching environment means that academic staff and
students will need to develop skills in digital literacy to participate effectively in
distributed project-based collaborative work.” [1]
“A Social Media tool that has been built specifically to support that type of
Engineering Design Communication has the potential to provide a more
collaborative method of communication.” [2]

Editor's Notes

  • #2 Welcome, Thank you very much for attending this presentation and I hope you find it valuable and informative. This presentation will detail seven recommendations for implementing social network sites and mobile devices into product design education.
  • #9 This is important as social network sites are popular tools which are being used. And so we ask, how should academic staff best support the use of these technologies in order to best develop the skills of the student. The importance of this is that these tools have the potential to offer more collaborative methods which will assist in teamwork aspects of project based learning.
  • #18 We will now conduct a workshop task in which you will be asked two questions. I would like you to get into smaller groups of 5 to discus these questions and write down any interesting thoughts onto post it notes so we can share them with the group and collect data. We will then share in a larger group and post these onto the question boards.
  • #23 Thanks for coming. I have included my Facebook, Twitter and email if you would like to contact me the old fashioned way. I would really appreciate it if you would fill in the evaluation form and short questionnaire attached. Also on the opposite side is the workshop participation form.
