Jamie Wood Earlier in September, I took a (long) trip down to Brighton for a meeting at the University of Sussex about a collaborative project called T&L (tagging and learning): Developing digital literacy through social bookmarking between Sussex, Hertfordshire and Lincoln on the use of social bookmarking in Humanities teaching.

The project has already been announced at the University of Sussex (see here) but watch this space for more news…
