Some aspects have taken a long time to germinate before establishing themselves as useful tools. It took over a year from the suggestion that WebLearn could provide certain solutions to the point where these became embedded across the department.<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-family: Calibri\">2.\u00a0Seize the opportunity to try out new tools. They might not work exactly as expected in some of the places you deploy them, but they won&#8217;t work at all if you never try them out in your site. Wulf attended the Surveys course several months before he found opportunities to apply that knowledge.<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-family: Calibri\">3.\u00a0From time to time, weed out areas or tools that are not being used. This brings more light to the areas that are healthy. You can move things around too, although do warn your users first!<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: Calibri\">\u00a0<strong>Useful links<\/strong><\/span><br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/weblearn.ox.ac.uk\/x\/pfIyNq\"><span style=\"font-family: Calibri\">PDF case study<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-family: Calibri\"> (<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/weblearn.ox.ac.uk\/x\/pfIyNq\"><span style=\"font-family: Calibri\">https:\/\/weblearn.ox.ac.uk\/x\/pfIyNq<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-family: Calibri\">) on WebLearn Guidance site<\/span><br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/weblearn.ox.ac.uk\/x\/MX0FCh\"><span style=\"font-family: Calibri\">Slide presentation<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-family: Calibri\"> (<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/weblearn.ox.ac.uk\/x\/MX0FCh\"><span style=\"font-family: Calibri\">https:\/\/weblearn.ox.ac.uk\/x\/MX0FCh<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-size: small\"><span style=\"font-family: Calibri\">) at WebLearn User Group<\/span><\/span><br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/weblearn.ox.ac.uk\/x\/RcSvYy\"><span style=\"font-family: Calibri\">Audio commentary<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-family: Calibri\"> (<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/weblearn.ox.ac.uk\/x\/RcSvYy\"><span style=\"font-family: Calibri\">https:\/\/weblearn.ox.ac.uk\/x\/RcSvYy<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-family: Calibri\">) to accompany WebLearn User Group slide presentation<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>An organic approach to building an intranet with WebLearn Case study of the Nuffield Department of Orthopaedics, Rheumatology and Musculoskeletal Sciences (NDORMS) Wulf Forrester-Barker, IT Manager at NDORMS has discovered that WebLearn can be stretched far beyond the expected applications &hellip; <a href=\"https:\/\/blogs-new.it.ox.ac.uk\/adamweblearn\/2012\/07\/ndorms-case-study-weblearn-with-green-fingers\/\">Continue reading <span class=\"meta-nav\">&rarr;<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":59,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[105],"tags":[173],"class_list":["post-1970","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-weblearn","tag-case-study"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/blogs-new.it.ox.ac.uk\/adamweblearn\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1970","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/blogs-new.it.ox.ac.uk\/adamweblearn\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/blogs-new.it.ox.ac.uk\/adamweblearn\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blogs-new.it.ox.ac.uk\/adamweblearn\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/59"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blogs-new.it.ox.ac.uk\/adamweblearn\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1970"}],"version-history":[{"count":13,"href":"https:\/\/blogs-new.it.ox.ac.uk\/adamweblearn\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1970\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1984,"href":"https:\/\/blogs-new.it.ox.ac.uk\/adamweblearn\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1970\/revisions\/1984"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/blogs-new.it.ox.ac.uk\/adamweblearn\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1970"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blogs-new.it.ox.ac.uk\/adamweblearn\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1970"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blogs-new.it.ox.ac.uk\/adamweblearn\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1970"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
