H2O Playlists
February 24th, 2006 | by Tim Wilson |I’ll be sitting on the panel for a seminar at the U. of Minnesota in a few weeks discussing Web 2.0. I met recently with my co-panelists and we decided to put our money where our mouths are and use a wiki to organize our presentation and invite input in advance on the topics we plan to cover. (U. of MN login required to edit the wiki.) In the course of our planning discussion I was introduced to H2O Playlist, a wonderful site at Harvard’s Berkman Center For Internet and Society.
According to the site, an H2O Playlist “is a series of links to books, articles, and other materials that collectively explore an idea or set the stage for a course, discussion, or current event.” Further, the site says that H2O Playlists allow you to:
- transform traditional syllabi into interactive, global learning tools
- share the reading lists of world-renowned scholars, organizations, and cultural leaders
- let interested people subscribe to playlist updates and stay current on their fields
- promote an exchange of ideas and expertise among professors, students, and researchers
- communicate and aggregate knowledge — online and offline.
One of the best ways to get to know H2O Playlists is to read the H2O Playlist about H2O Playlists. My co-presenters and I are looking at a Playlist entitled “UDL and Web 2.0: Confronting the Drunk Librarian” for a bevy of useful links about Web 2.0.
I started my own Playlist about ITIL, the set of IT best practices I posted about a while ago.
