Uses for Flickr:

• Using copyright free images in teaching (http://flickrcc.bluemountains.net)
• Media courses
• Building communities in a multi-campus universities
• Research (phone based pictures could be used for reasearch)
• Engineering, Architecture, Art, etc. courses. Especially with GPS tagging in phones
• Portfolios (Art, not CPD or PDP)*
• Portfolios (CPD, PDP)*

*Flickr’s access restrictions could come in useful for portfolio based work.

I’m sitting here at ALT-C 2008, in one of the parallel sessions – Hood 2.0.

Having seen seesmic, we’ve just been asked to think of examples where it could be useful.

So, here goes:

• Peer review
• Feedback
• Reflective diary/PDP
• Media courses (Journalism, fism making, etc.)
• Where an event may not be repeatable, due to environment, location, etc.
• Where face-to-face communication is important (Language, acting, etc).
• Research (eg, videoing locations, etc.)
