Publications and Publicity Update

Recently, members of the project team had a paper accepted in the Australasian Journal of Educational Technology. The paper has now been published and is available online. The paper reviews current literature and published examples of the assessment of Web 2.0 activities in higher education, identifying key challenges for academic assessment. The authors "make recommendations for practice, research and understanding to strengthen educational quality and academic integrity in the use of Web 2.0 authoring forms for assessable student learning."

We have also written an article about the project for the next edition of the newsletter of the Higher Education Research and Development Society of Australasia, HERDSA News. In addition, we will be presenting a workshop on our good practice guidelines at the next HERDSA Conference, which will be held in Melbourne in early July. We hope to follow this up with several further presentations and workshops at Australian conferences later this year.
