About [Edit]
There are an overwhelming number of online tools that promise to help you collaborate more effectively. How do you know which ones are right for you? How do you tailor those tools for your organization? And most importantly, how do you use these tools most effectively?
Blue Oxen Associates principal, Eugene Eric Kim, will be leading an intensive, four week online workshop that explores these questions. In this workshop, you will:
- Develop a conceptual framework for how to think about, evaluate, and apply online tools and social media to your work.
- Get real, hands-on experience with several of these tools.
You will be working with your fellow participants in a Blue Oxen Collaboratory, where you will have the opportunity to play with tools such as microblogs and Wikis for real learning and collaboration. At the end of this workshop, you will understand how to think strategically about online tools, even as they continually and rapidly evolve.
Topics
- Patterns of high-performance collaboration
- Identity, trust, and reputation
- Strategies for effective communication and knowledge sharing
- Specific tools include:
- Email, mailing lists, and online forums
- Teleconferences and shared screens
- Social Media / Web 2.0
- Wikis
- Blogs
- Microblogs
There are a number of other online tools available for catalyzing collaboration, and we will not even attempt to cover all of them. However, this course will help you develop fundamental skills that will apply to all online collaborative tools.
