Web Worker Daily reports on two new features to the enterprise collaboration tool, SocialText.
- A Twitter-like feature they call Signals, and
- Desktop that allows you to stay current on what’s going on in the (virtual) workspace even when you’re not inside the space.
You can customize Desktop with options such as showing all activity or only those you’re following (a la Twitter). It will be interesting to see if LMSs move in this direction. With the intersection of mobile computing and learning, it seems like this would be another way to make access to, awareness of, and participation in the learning space that much easier. Would it be easy for a university to do with this with Moodle? As an add-on to a campus blog platform such as Penn State’s? Designing learning spaces to be agile seems to be key here.
