Second meeting in Glasgow, Scotland

Second meeting in Glasgow, Scotland

ISTUS project partners met up in Glasgow from 23-24 January 2012. The meeting took place in the Mitchell Library in the West End of the city. Some additional project staff were introduced to the group and they kicked off with a summary of the project plan. After that we started working on the research review which involved partners presenting relevant research articles and videos on teaching and learning using social media. 

The workshop continued with the presentation on Concerns-based Adoption Model. This was to allow project members to analyse the key components of technology adoption in education. This work was to form the basis for the development of the questionnaires aimed at different target groups: students, teachers and institutional staff.

On the first evening all members met at a local cooking school and learnt how to make traditional Scottish food.

On the second day of the workshop the group discussed project evaluation techniques and how we can measure the success of ISTUS using the most appopriate deliverables. Further work continued on staff capacities in relation to using social media tools in education, as the group further analysed what the key enablers and barriers currently impact on this area.

On the second evening project members saw some Glasgow city sights, before having dinner in Jamie's restaurant.
