Twittering

We have set up a Twitter account for our project @PCAcoursedata, please feel free to follow us.

For those interested in setting up your own Twitter account, I have included a link from the LSE which is a Twitter guide for Academics and researchers.

Using Twitter in University research, teaching and impact opportunities

We like this one...

Having reviewed some of the projects on JISC Elevator we really like the Mobile apps proposal. 

The idea is to re-use the XML files they produce to create an two Apps, both on iPhone and Android to enable students to search for courses.  One app will be institutional based (you will be able to rebrand it and point to your XML feeds) the second will be a generic app that will pull all the XML feeds.

If you like the sound of it, or want to see more, click on the above link and register your vote.  Feel free to pass to colleagues.

Also we have just taken on Kerry Dungay as our new Project Administrator who started work with us on the 13th March.
