Video (13 mins): Use of social computing in organizations

This is an extract from Euan Semple's online presentation for E-learning Networks Community Forum funded by the Australian Flexibile Learning Framework, © Commonwealth of Australia 2007’ . Euan is a well known writer, thinker and public speaker on the subject of social computing (the use of forums, social networking tools, blogs, and wikis). In this podcast he talks about the use of social computing (online forums, social networking tools, blogs, and wikis) in organisations in terms on how the technology impacts on how we work. He describes the path he followed through his work at the BBC and the way it grew as the tools were implemented. He shares his insight into the consequences of using social computing tools in terms on the impact on their organisation, individuals and how we all work within our organisations. Thanks to Euan Semple and E-learning Networks Community Forum funded by the Australian Flexibile Learning Framework, © Commonwealth of Australia 2007’ for giving me permission to take extracts from the online presentation to create this podcast.
