This is something that has been tried in our Library. But I'm afraid the students didn't take to it. We used Layer. It was the IT bods who developed it & we suggested things to go in it. It was really quite whizzy & I thought the students would take to it more than the tutors. We had a special event where it was launched & special "Layer" posters were placed all around the place. Within a couple of weeks it had virtually been forgotten.
A similar thing happened when we started using Q R Codes. No-one looked at them.
From a personal point of view I think it's a really thing, & maybe when I get my head around the new Planet E-Stream I may have another look at it & see if it would be a good thing, & ask the new intake of students if they would be likely to use it.
I feel a bit as though I've copped out of this one a bit, but there isn't much else for me to say on it.
Sorry!
It takes along time and a lot of planning for these kinds of tech to bed in, probably at least a year. And it has to offer some value for the students that they cannot get anywhere else. Glad to hear you tried it out anyway.
