LTD Presence on the LS Web Pages

I have annotated the 4 Learning Services web pages which contain information about my team's area of responsibility as follows:

• Learning Services - Home > For Edge Hill Staff > Key Learning Services Contact [See the annotated Support for E-Learning page for info]

• Learning Services - Home > For Edge Hill Staff > Support for E-Learning [See the annotated Key Learning Services Contact page for info]
  

• Learning Services - Home > Help and Support > WebCT / Blackboard Support [See the annotated WebCT / Blackboard Support page for info]
  

The following page contains information (Guides: Online Learning - WebCT & Online Learning - Blackboard) created and maintained by LTD:

• Learning Services - Home > Help and Support > Guides and Documentation [See the annotated Guides and Documentation page for info]

NB. The annotated pages have been created with Fleck.com
When viewing the annotated pages, do not use the anchors to move around the page as this will take you away from the annotated version... just scroll!

Highlight The Web

I posted this on our LTD Blog Cakes but as it could be useful for Project Walter I thought I'd post it here too!


I just came across a great web app called Awesome Highlighter and my first impression was “wow, how useful!”

The Awesome Highlighter allows you to highlight web pages and provides you with a custom link to your annotated page, which you can then share.

And it’s easy… you simply enter the url of the web page you want to share, highlight the relevant text and click done.

I think this app has the potential to be used both personally and collaboratively. I’m certainly going to use it…

Personally - I bookmark with http://del.icio.us and use the notes feature to remind me why I originally bookmarked the page. Now I can highlight relevant text on a page and bookmark this.

Collaboratively - I’m involved in a Learning Services website re-modelling strategy group and I can see this app being really useful (when analysing the current website and conducting benchmarking) for sharing my findings with the project team.

Welcome..

Welcome to the first post in the newly formed Walter blog!

First task before our meeting is to spend some time (an hour or so) benchmarking other University libary services web sites - look particulary at your area of expertise and prepare a brief summary to feed back to the team including:

1. Particular features you liked (from where?)
2. Particular features you didn't like (from where?)
3. Any outstanding sites that we all could look at..

Also form a short report including this information (no more than a page of A4) to email to all team members before the meeting, so that we can prepare questions.

If you have any questions about this, please speak to Martin or myself - or post a comment on here and we'll get back to you..
