Rules for the day Download the PowerPoint from http://www.rba.co.uk/web2 either now or when you get back to the office (preferably now) Ask questions as we go Try out whatever you want during the practical sessions You don’t have to look at everything Have fun! 18/05/2010 www.rba.co.uk 2

Forget about the Web 2.0 label 18/05/2010 www.rba.co.uk 3 Think about what it is you want to do Sharing knowledge with colleagues, keeping up to date with new developments A more efficient way of collaborating on articles, documents, policies, contracts, conference programmes, training materials A quick and easy way of providing information to your users and clients through different platforms, applications and devices Reputation monitoring – what are people saying about your organisation, its services, its products? Marketing and promoting your organisation’s and your own skills and expertise Moving, re-using and republishing “stuff” There is No Web 3.0, There is No Web 2.0 - There is Just the Web http://www.readwriteweb.com/archives/there_is_no_web_30_there_is_no_web_20.php

Potential drawbacks Accuracy and authority of information need to check who is “publishing” the information mis-information, intentional or accidental has always existed but social networks/web 2 can correct wrong information Twitter campaign to correct mis-reporting by UK newspaper on cervical cancer vaccination and death of a teenager Many services and applications blocked Barriers to using Web 2.0 technology: solutions http://www.philb.com/articles/barrierstoweb2.htm Technology many applications and web sites will no longer work with old browsers and operating systems (IE6 must die!) if your organisation does not upgrade, it will be left behind in the dark ages 18/05/2010 www.rba.co.uk 4

Experimenting with wikis and document sharing May already have wiki options on your system Blackboard, Moodle, SharePoint, existing CMS feedback on Sharepoint wiki – robust but basic Not always straightforward to install on your own system use third party “wiki farms” to start with Comparison of wiki farms – Wikipedia http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_wiki_farms some wiki farms make your wikis completely open, that is viewable and editable by anyone Compare wikis at http://www.wikimatrix.org/ Don’t call it a wiki! 18/05/2010 www.rba.co.uk 55

Experimenting with wikis and document sharing Some wiki farms to try: PB Works (was Peanut Butter Wiki) http://pbworks.com/ Wikispaces http://www.wikispaces.com/ Wet Paint http://www.wetpaint.com/ Also try Google Docs http://docs.google.com/ Google Sites http://sites.google.com/ Zoho http://www.zoho.com/ 18/05/2010 www.rba.co.uk 56

Google Docs http://docs.google.com/ need a Google account text documents (Word, Open Office, Star Office) spreadsheets, presentations Can upload existing documents and will keep most of the formatting (wikis usually removes formatting) Invite others to share your documents Edit documents online with whomever you choose Has a similar version/history record as wikis “Google Docs suffers privacy glitch “ http://news.cnet.com/google-docs-suffers-privacy-glitch/ 18/05/2010 www.rba.co.uk 57
