Using Web 2.0 to prepare lectures

Uber-blogger and Lecturer N. Sivasothi (a.k.a Otterman), over at the Department of Biological Sciences, shared his lecture preparation methods with NUS librarians last Wednesday.

With his trusty Mac, he gathers information and materials from readily accessible, reconfigurable and redistributable content via del.icio.us, Flickr and numerous video sites such as YouTube.

You can check out the slides from his presentation above and he's created a Google Document with the links mentioned during the talk.

Siva also briefly touched on his use of NUS Module Blogs for a student assignment. You can read the students' blog posts about animal behaviour. He also runs a module blog for LSM1303 Animal Behaviour, which is where a lot of the online material he gathers gets featured after lectures.

P.S. And if you really want to know why he is an uber-blogger, check out this video at theory.isthereason.com. (Just skip a little past the first bit.)
