Podcast #6 – Anti-social learning: the legal risks of Web 2.0
Blogs, wikis, and video sharing sites to name but a few are now common daily haunts for millions of people, so it’s no surprise organisations want to leverage these services for people development. The user generated content and social interactivity that characterises these so called ‘Web 2.0 technologies’ is ideal both for formal and informal learning.
But before your organisation rushes in with a Web 2.0 based solution, make sure anyone who intends to launch a participatory web service for learning, communications, or knowledge management is aware of the legal aspects.
Get an overview of this hot topic by listening to Doing E-learning’s latest podcast.

How not to use PowerPoint
We happened across this hilarious clip while trawling YouTube. It may well be a few years old and have over one million hits altogether – but from what we see out in the real world the lessons are still being learnt.
Although its focus is PowerPoint, its relevance to e-learning is a no brainer! Enjoy.

Podcast #5 – Back to School with E-learning
E-learning is a growing industry – both in terms of organisational uptake, and in terms of practitioners. So it’s not surprising that a number of the UK universities now offer Post Graduate Certificates, Diplomas, and Master’s degrees in this area.
Dr Judith Good, Director of the IDEAs Lab at Sussex University, and Dr Lyn Pemberton, Principal Lecturer at Brighton University run the Post Graduate Certificate in E-learning that’s jointly offered by Sussex and Brighton Universities.
We caught up with both for our latest podcast, to bring you an insight into what one of these courses can offer. Is it a case of ivory towers, or a vocationally strong offering that addresses the needs of real world e-learning professionals?
