Abstract
This seminar will combine a survey of the current social software world with hands-on exercises involving selected tools, including wikis, blogs, and social bookmarking. We will also cover pedagogical case studies and possibilities. Support strategies will be addressed throughout, as we examine the challenges of deploying social software and integrating it into today's campus environment. We will also discuss adoption issues, exploring how and when faculty decide to use such technologies for teaching and research.
