How to Use Social Software in Higher Education

This handbook attempts to make the results of three years of work within the specific, targeted research of the iCamp project accessible.
In the European Commission funded iCamp project we have investigated how Web 2.0 technologies can be implemented in higher education settings.

More specifi cally, we have focused on a setting in formal higher education in which actors are distributed geographically, culturally, and across disciplines and have designed an approach through which learning processes in this setting can be supported with social software.

In preparing this handbook, we chose to arrange the tools according to the learning activities they support. Each chapter should be read in the context of these activities. Our aim is to provide you with an entry point into the application of social software technology to support learning. The handbook is both a guide and a resource for anyone considering making use of Web 2.0 technologies in teaching or learning.
