The seminar, conducted by Centre for Distance Education Fellow Dr Jane Secker (CLT, London School of Economics) will drew on evidence from the CDE-funded project Libraries and Social Software in Education (LASSIE) to review how libraries can best support students using new technologies. The project carried out a series of case studies using a number of web 2.0 tools such as blogs, social bookmarking, podcasting and social networking. It concluded that web 2.0 technologies could provide valuable information literacy support to distance learners. Consequently an online course for students studying at LSE through the external system was made available in Moodle.
