Social Software

Social software enables large numbers of people to meet, communicate, share and collaborate through a website. Its general goal is to stimulate communication between a network of people.

Deakin supports social software applications including wikis, online discussions/blogs and virtual galleries:

Note: Social software will not be available in all units.

Previously, Deakin did pilot other Social Software applications in a number of selected units:

Accessing a social software site via DSO

  1. You will be given a link to your social software site in your DSO unit. Click on this link to access the site.
  2. Enter your normal Deakin username and password, or if you have received special instructions, enter the username and password you have been given.

Note: If you are accessing a social software site via a Deakin computer, you will need to enter your Deakin user name and password before you can access the social software site to enter your login details.
