Extend social networking features. Emphasis on social engagement is unique to Web 2.0 applications. In the current RISAL system, we concentrated primarily in the development of bookmarking and repository features, and the social networking features of the system remain underdeveloped. Social networking features will enable individuals to more effectively manage lists of “friends” (those with similar interests who wish to communicate about specific topics) and groups for sharing of resources and tracking of activities. For example, a teacher might create a special group (based on his/her class or a group of research students) and share specific resources with these students. In addition, the teacher might track the group members' activities (resources that they bookmark, or new items in their portfolio). A student might connect to friends and create project groups to share resources, track activities, collaborate and form connections. The system should also contain suitable communication features to allow the flow of information, such as messaging and alerts about new resources or comments. Social networking features of the RISAL system will help provide valuable feedback through peer feedback and discussions within a social space as ideas (relative to the course learning outcomes) are developing. The importance of feedback to students for learning in progress has been emphasized as an important pedagogical intervention ( Salter, 2008). In this aspect, the system might be useful for other purposes. For example, a head of a department might create a group consisting of the department's teachers and share resources such as curriculum documents and minutes of meetings. Similarly, a group of teachers might use the system to plan co-teaching activities or develop a curriculum. Research project collaborators might create a space for exchange of files and collaboration. The system would allow for easy feedback to this kind of work in progress and shared resource development.
