Every blog has a first post, so here’s mine! I’m Nitin Parmar, a Learning Technologist within the Learning and Teaching Enhancement Office at the University of Bath. You can find about a bit more about me in the About section of this blog.
I’ve created this blog for a number of reasons. First, the name, colligo. What’s it mean? It’s Latin. The definition is as follows:
colligo : legi, lectum, to collect, gather together, assemble
In a word, colligo sums up what I hope to use this blog for. The intention is to get more of my stuff “out there”. By this, I mean things that I’m doing at work, some reflections, thoughts and the like. I’m hoping to develop a research interest in effective online collaboration and will use this blog to highlight things I’ve come across, such as good practice, relevant reading and useful website. I’m already a regular user of Facebook but I tend to this that as a more social activity — this blog is definitely work related, rather than anything personal.So there we go. That wasn’t so hard was it? I’m hoping to update this blog fairly regularly, usually during my two-hour slot for personal development time.
