Using wikis, blogs and social networking tools to enhance collaboration and participation

Abstract

The Dublin Institute of Technology (DIT) Ireland, Teaching Fellowship awards have been established in support of strategic innovation and enhancement of learning. These awards are funded under Irish Higher Education Strategic Initiative Funding (SIF), namely the Enhancement of Learning Strand. Teaching Fellowships were awarded by DIT Faculty Heads of Learning Development and presented to an individual or a team in support of their work developing and evaluating a specific project that will support the enhancement of learning and/or curriculum development at programme, school or faculty level. Twelve Fellowship projects, aimed at supporting the Enhancement of Learning strand of SIF in Higher Education, were officially launched on 25 Sept 2009.
