Flickr

While there are tens of photo-hosting applications on the Web, one of the most innovative is Flickr. Flickr is a photo management and sharing online application that provides a place to share photos and meet people with similar interests, even if photography is not their focus. Using Flickr, users can upload, download, tag, rate, and c om ment on photos. Users can manage and organize images, and create private or public groups to cultivate a sense of c om munity.   Flickr offers a vast collection of images that are not available elsewhere, and its collaborative tools have made it popular in higher education.

University instructors have begun using Flickr images in their courses to share, critique, and analyze visual information.

The Third International Conference of e-Learning and Distance Education - Riyadh - 4-7 February 2013

As e-learning is increasingly being embraced and implemented  in Higher Education, it is important to explore and measure whether it is empowering, engaging and performance driven.
