PDFCollecting evidence in a Web 2.0 context

14 August 2009Although Joint Information Systems Committee (JISC) has developed a number of services specifically for use by the UK Higher Education (HE) sector, people within the sector are increasingly using services developed outside the sector, either in addition to - or in some cases instead of – JISC-provided services. And as well as using such services, people are also engaging in ‘mashups’ where combinations of services and content are used to provide new services or to provide added value to data already held.

This article describes a part of a UKOLN and JISC-funded study looking at the use of Web 2.0 tools and services in the UK HE sector, with the aim of finding out who is using these tools and services and the purposes to which they are being put.
