There are 3 things that we need to know about today’s Internet technologies:
FIRSTLY, a powerful GLOBAL CONVERSATION on blogs and lots of other social media had begun since 1999. Catch up quickly or you might be left behind!
SECONDLY, email volume on related projects could be down by 75% and meeting times whacked in half… if you use wikis effectively, according to a report by Internet research firm Gartner Group.
THIRDLY, NO licence costs, NO restrictive licences, and NO vendor lock-in are possible and feasible. In fact, you can set up a corporate website for as low as US$10 a year, or have easy access and installation of dozens of free scripts for as low as US$10 a month!
Upon completion of the course, you should be able to:
* Set up your own website for as low as US$10 a year or US$10 a month.
* Create a blog on a popular blog host, add posts with text, links, graphics, audio, video and comments; and change the settings and templates of your blogs.
* Make use of social networks such as Facebook as a savvy member.
* Use RSS (rich site summary) effectively as a reader/subscriber.
* Create a wiki on a popular host, manage wikis pages, adding text, tables, links, graphics, audio, video and comments; and change the settings of your wikis.
* Use Google services to search, organize, communicate and collaborate on relevant information.
* Discuss meaningfully the “what”, “how” and “why” of using blogs, wikis, and other free software (such as Google apps and Moodle) to meet the information sharing and training needs of a commercial or educational organization.
