[Open-education] Social media in Education response - UK HE resources

Tue Apr 8 08:48:55 UTC 2014

UK folk may be interested in an event on this very topic in Higher Education at the University of Warwick 24th April 2014 - http://www.heacademy.ac.uk/events/detail/2014/24_April_SocialMedia_CLL
And over 300 articles referring to this across the HEA's discipline -based Journals http://journals.heacademy.ac.uk/action/doSearch?searchText=social+media
An event from last years 'Changing the Learning Landscape' workshop series has further examples http://www.heacademy.ac.uk/resources/detail/cll/Workshop_materials

Just limiting the reply to 3 links - there is more in the HEA website http://www.heacademy.ac.uk/ (although they can be 'challenging to find')

Dear list readers,

today, I've read an article about bringing Social Media (here: Facebook and Twitter) into the education:
http://kirche20.at/blog/social-media-im-unterricht-ja-aber-wie

It had little success, since pupil do not want to mix private life and teaching on their networks.

I'm wondering, how it looks like in other parts of the world. Can you provide some use cases and stories?

Best regards

Andr? Jaenisch

Hi Andre,

I know that Pearson carried out some research into this last year
(http://www.pearsonlearningsolutions.com/higher-education/social-media-survey.php)
in the University space. They come up with some interesting conclusions, for example 55% of faculty found social media more distracting than useful.

Those experimenting with new open educational practices would probably disagree, so the flipped classroom
(http://www.edudemic.com/guides/flipped-classrooms-guide/) idea makes frequent use of social media tools. I'm sure there are many great examples of activity - creating Wikis, writing blogs, using Twitter (to explore the reach of social media <http://www.wikihow.com/Use-Twitter-in-the-Classroom>), I know in the UK kids are trying out stuff form 11 years old onwards.

I spotted that the University of Regina actually run an open access course/MOOC on Social Media & Open Education http://eci831.ca/about/ - not currently running but there is a Google Plus community.

So some questions that come to mind...Does use of social media in teaching necessarily make it more open? What about blocked sites in some countries? What about privacy, data, logins, ethical concerns etc.? Can social media be fully utilised to support openness? I'm sure there are more...

We are hoping to cover this in more detail in the handbook <http://booktype.okfn.org/open-education-handbook/_draft/_v/1.0/what-examples-of-open-learning-and-practice-are-there/>
if anyone is interested in exploring more.

Same experience with us.

BUT

Its a different story if you can use a separate social media so that private lives don't get mixed up.

We have found Google G+ and communities pretty useful.

Hello all,

A lot of the social constructivist approach to pedagogy uses social media, or networking at least to facilitate this. Social constructivism works on the basis that the network between people aids learning and that students can teach each other and so on. There is thinking behind this is that using a more mesh topology means a course structure in this way could expand and become massive but without suffering from a lack of teaching as may occur in bigger MOOCs (such as coursera). This partially underpins the cMOOC / xMOOC distinction.

ds106, etcmooc, phonar and cck08 are good places to start looking.

Open - well is making it a requirement open, or is it topologically more open because it is easier to join

hope this helps

Pat
