Tbers,
If you are not familiar with the notion of "social
computing" I encourage
you to review what social software is.
See:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Social_software
The
College has many social software services like Blogs, Wikis and Web
based
Image databases, but many more are available on the Internet. It
is
worth your time and effort to learn about some of these. For
example, a
PowerPoint sharing site called http://slideshare.net is remarkable in
what
it provides and promises to be better and better as time goes
by.
Other very interesting social computing sites are:
http://www.youtube.com - a user driven video
library
http://www.discogs.com - a
user driven music database
http://my.delic.ous - a social book marking
site
http://www.librarything.com -
social library with user generated catalog
and much much more...
If
you would like to explore any of these please contact me.
