Open Learning Network

As part of the Pearls in Clouds project I conducted an extensive literature review and metanalysis regarding the state of web 2.0 tools, or rather, social media in Higher Education.

 Key Questions

-       What is the evidence surrounding productive and creative use of social media and web 2.0 tools and OER in HE?
-       What are the barriers and enablers to the use of social media in HE?

We have addressed the issue of OER remix and mash ups several times during our discussions and in our research activities. Both remixing and mash-ups, which originate from music and web development respectively, have been become popular social media activities.
