Polytechnic 2.0?
These directions closely align with many of those outlined in the mission, values and objectives of the @Polytechnic Strategic Plan. To explore this notion sections of the original report were re-written replacing the word Government 2.0 with Polytechnic 2.0. The result is a document that some believe has close parallels with the intent of the current Polytechnic Strategic Plan.

People Directions
During 2010 the Polytechnic worked collaboratively with the Tasmanian Dept. of Premier and Cabinet's People Directions Project on participative digital media initiatives. The purpose of these initiatives was to explore how participatory media can improve client service and promote innovation.

Polytechnic Participative Media Projects
In 2010 the Polytechnic Flexible Learning and Communications and Marketing teams worked collaboratively to plan, implement and evaluate a number of pilot projects using web 2.0 (social) media to engage learners, staff and the wider Polytechnic community. These included:
 * Polytechnic Facebook Page social media service
 * Polytechnic Twitter micro-blogging service
 * Polytechnic Youtube and Polytechnic Class Youtube video service
 * Creative Arts Flickr online albums and galleries
 * Closed class Facebook Groups
 * Second Life 3D virtual gallery

Although not widely publicised these pilot projects have been successful in engaging different audiences. Project briefs and evaluations are available on the Polytechnic intranet.

Participative Media for Learning
Many teachers and groups of students have used web 2.0 services to establish learning communities and for learning and teaching. For more information see Participative Media. . ||
