It must be reporting season - in addition to the major "Social Media: State of the Art" report which we'll soon publish through the Smart Services CRC [7], two final reports from (what used to be called) Carrick Institute teaching and learning projects which I was involved in during 2007 and 2008 have been released recently. (The Carrick Institute has since been renamed the Australian Learning and Teaching Council [8].) I really can't take much credit here, though - my gradual and continuing transition to a very research-heavy workload has meant that my teaching activities have increasingly had to take a back seat. So, congratulations should go to:

  • Robert Fitzgerald at the University of Canberra, who led the masheDLC [9] research team exploring the use of social media technologies to develop digital learning communities. The team's report, "Digital Learning Communities: Investigating the Application of Social Software to Support Networked Learning [10]", is now available from the Carrick/ALTC site.
  • Jen Webb (University of Canberra) and Donna Lee Brien (Central Queensland University), who led the Australian Postgraduate Writers Network [11] team that built a knowledge sharing site for creative writing postgraduates. The final report from that project, "Australian Writing Programs Network (CG642) [12]", is also online at the Carrick/ALTC site.
