The Power of the

Social Web helped

unleash a revolution that

brought 30 years of

tyranny to an end.


The ways with which we

share information,

collaborate and acquire

knowledge

have been changed forever.


How do we Move Beyond “The Course”….

To Explore the Impact of the Social Web on the Broader Aspects of

Academic Life.
