So what tech boy?

Okay this is all very interesting but how does this relate to learning technology. Well in terms of our isolated web resources not a jott. However it does feel as though we are starting to dip our toes in to the open learning/materials phenomena and as such perhaps we should start to consider our page ranking status. Okay it’s probably going a bit far to think of ALL of our students searching google to find specific module resources. I guess depends on how far this open content initiative goes. I still feel this is something we should at least consider with our publicly available material. Couple of questions that spring to mind are:

• Does this self promotion of our resources produce any educational benefits?
• Is the payoff worth the time and effort?
• How high in the rankings would we want to be?
• Is being searchable enough?

Interesting area methinks.
