Tony Hirst has a new post about the Open University’s revised Facebook app strategy. From the post:
For those who don’t remember the apps we developed, there were two: Course Profiles, which allowed students to declare the courses that had taken were taking and intended to take, and then provided a range of services around that information (find friends on a course, find a study buddy, link to course information or course related OpenLearn resources, get course recommendations); and My OU Story, where students could maintain a “status diary” about their progress on a course, along with a mood indicator so they could track their mood over a course, and other app users could add supportive comments.

I think the point is to talk about the thinking behind the apps. You should be able to find the apps through here: http://www.facebook.com/theopenuniversity
