Start of the new course about the new way of working

In September I gave a poster presentation at a conference in Ankara about the course “Working 2.0”.
The Hague university organizes this course every year from November-February.
During the course, students learn how social media can be used in an professional environment and how this can lead to a new way of working.
Main teacher of the course is Jan Krans, special consultant at Atos Origin, an international ICT service provider.
This week we started a new edition of the course with 65 enthusiastic students from different departments of our university. Right after the beginning the students started to open accounts on Twitter, Delicous, Foursquare, Google apps and others. Via the hashtag #kb33 on Twitter, the students share their experiences, discuss and update those who can not be present.

Jan Krans is an inspiring personality with a giant personal network. He has formulated several interesting tasks for the students: organizing events, writing advice reports about the use of Google apps in education, editing a book, advising companies about the New way of working, etc.
The studens have formed groups and each group will fulfil one of the tasks. This week was only a start, but it looks very promising!
I am proud to be part of it as coordinator, but the credits for the content are for Jan.
I will keep you updated!
