We report a proof-of-concept pilot investigating the development of Online Journal Clubs. Our pilot was evaluated capturing real-time perceptions within each Club; feedback was positive suggesting that students valued the opportunity to participate. We have expanded OJC in terms of infrastructure and audience and discuss our preliminary findings. We suggest OJC may provide a low-risk environment facilitating development of ICT confidence/competence critical reading evaluation and communication skills. By sourcing and informally sharing news of importance to them participation in OJC may increase ownership for learning hence provide a transformative experience for students which will be carried through to formal study.
