http://lre.eun.org

http://lre.eun.org

Social bookmarking

To store, organise, share and search bookmarks of web pages. Keep found things found!

Bookmarks are usually public and shared

Users organise bookmarks with informal tags (instead of the traditional folders)

Find like-minded users with similar interest.

My personal keywords are TAGS. They help me

organise my bookmarks!

Addition to the traditional LOM

By users interacting with the portal, resources and other users

Four main tools:– social bookmarking and tags in multiple languages – ratings of usefulness – pedagogical annotations (used in learning events)– levels of user engagement when interacting with

the system (what is viewed, how many times,..)

http://lre.eun.org
