Play audio introduction by Derek Whitehead, Swinburne Play audio introduction by Anne Horn, DeakinThis is an invitation to all staff of Swinburne University of Technology and Deakin University Libraries to learn more about Web 2.0 technologies through a program that will help you update your skills and learn more about new technologies that are freely available on the internet.
We have called this initiative 23 Things after the program developed by Helene Blowers from the Public Library of Charlotte and Mecklenburg County. The program has been licensed under Creative Commons and is used by libraries around the world. We would also like to acknowledge the help of the staff at the Yarra Plenty Library and in particular Lynette Lewis, who has inspired us to undertake this learning journey.
You are encouraged to play, have fun and do it all at your own pace.
What is involved
23 Things contains a series of activities designed to help you explore a new facet of internet technology. Each activity is accompanied by a podcast to help get you started. Throughout the program you will receive
- continuous update material to help you along,
- supportive emails to keep you on track, and
- additional help available from the nominated 23 Things champion at your campus library.
- Computer with Internet access
