Now that many of their key properties are better understood, further studies areemploying social tagging as a research tool to investigate research topics beyond socialtagging—often creating their own social tagging system. One well known example is thesteve.museum project where social tagging is being used to collect user descriptions of onlineholdings to enhance access and engagement29,30. Other projects include Jackon’s31 work onknowledge capture using social tagging to establish connections between captured tacit andprofessional knowledge within a large business organization.

style that is dominant. In traditional lecture classesstudents with the first three styles might find it more difficult to learn since they are not providedwith the experiences they need to master the material. Since it is difficult for them to understand,memorize, recall and meaningfully apply abstract concepts and formulas they will also haveproblems with examinations. In an unbiased population each learning style is equallyrepresented. If we project that 25% of the population fall in each learning style, approximately75% of the class will have problems mastering material that is presented in a lecture format.This becomes obvious when looking at test results. Few students have full mastery of theconcepts and, therefore, few score 100% on the

Failure number 1 – Project assignment and/or daily problem assignments At several points in the first development steps, the solution called “assign more practiceproblems!” was tried. The first time, 2-3 problems were assigned for each lecture. The secondtime, one of the Felder and Rousseau case studies was done in its entirety over the course of theterm. Mostly, this made the students exhausted, frustrated, and overwhelmed with work. Therewas some improvement in performance on the final exam, but that group of students also cameback years later with vivid memories – not of what they learned –but of how much they sufferedin the course.
