Part 4 of 5: Get to Know the OpenLab

Greetings,

This week, create on the OpenLab! In this case, ‘create’ can refer to creating sites, but also to creating communities, collaborations, and dialogue by joining other sites, connecting with friends, participating in discussion forums and more.

• Task 1: Create Connections. 
  • Join our 3 in-house sites to stay connected and updated about what’s happening on the OpenLab:
    • The Open Road: Our one-stop-shop for all things OpenLab: news, workshops, events, community, and support!
      
    • The Buzz: Our student blogging team’s site; they post about life at City Tech and beyond!
    • Open Pedagogy on the OpenLab: A site for sharing and discussing resources about open digital pedagogy!
      
      
• Connect with your friends and join other groups related to your interests:
  
  
  • • You can search through people, courses, projects, clubs and portfolios using the menu at the top and the magnifying glass in the top-right
      
    • You can also search courses, projects, clubs and portfolios using the links titled by type of site (courses, projects, clubs, portfolios) under the slider. From the search page, use the filters (top-right) to tailor your search
      
    • …more here.
      
• Task 2: Create Sites of Your Own by referring to the section of our help content titled Sites on the OpenLab.
  

We’ll be in touch next week to help you answer: How can I get help and support with using the OpenLab?

Cheers,

The OpenLab Community Team
