Anyone for Google sites and the APT STAIRS Project
Google apps has been around for a whole and Trinity University Dublin has been using it with students staff in an educational context fro quite a while.
But this is another project I just been made aware of a really interesting project. The APT STAIRS project is an acronym for Appropriate and Practical Technologies for Students, Teachers, Administrators and Researchers.
They are using JISC funding to run six demonstrator projects across the six Bloomsbury institutions. These demonstrator projects will examine how the latest online collaborative tools (Google Docs) can engage all users in supporting and developing learning, teaching, administration and research.
The Bloomsbury Colleges comprise six internationally renowned HE institutions within the University of London. The Colleges collectively have over 15,000 undergraduate and 14,000 postgraduate students (HESA 2005/05).
They are using a range of google services google docs, calendar mail etc .
Going to be exciting to see what outcomes and impacts the project have.
