Improvements to This Blog: Feedback Still Welcome!
During the course of SHEEN Sharing’s initial nine month phase, we received quite a bit of feedback re this blog.
Some of this arose from the original ambiguity about the blog’s purpose. While we were getting started, this blog was both a dissemination tool for the project, and a sandbox/demonstrator for the ECN to see how different Web 2.0 tools worked. So, we had not only project news, documents and postings about how to use Web 2.0 tools, but also various feeds and widgets in the right-hand columns demonstrating how other tools and tags could be used to enrich the content here. Some ECN members were very keen at the start, and tried using the blog to post about things they wanted to discuss with the rest of the network, or employability resources they were interested in.
Now, we are much clearer about what we want to achieve and which tools we want to use for which purpose. We are using our Netvibes page as our one-stop-shop site, kind of a virtual “repository”, for disseminating quality employability resources to the ECN’s stakeholders. We are using Diigo for two purposes: one is for co-ordinators to save, share, discuss and disseminate their favourite employability resources, the other is to use Diigo’s excellent social networking tools to provide safe online group discussion spaces. You can see how using Diigo to save and share resources can feed directly into our Netvibes page with no additional work by the ECN by looking at this tab and this tab.
We are using this blog, plus our Twitter account, to disseminate the SHEEN Sharing project itself. It will stand as a record of the proecess we went through and what we achieved.
With this in mind, I have removed several of the “sandbox” widgets with feeds from the right-hand columns, and also re-arranged and re-configured the remaining items there in a way that I hope will make the blog easier to find your way around. Please do have a look and feed back to me if you can suggest any improvements.
I’ve also updated the SHEEN Sharing Project page and several of the Scottish Employability Projects’ pages, to indicate progress made. In particular, check out the pages:
