7 "Must Do" Social Media Fixes For Business | Joerg Weishaupt - 0 views

  • Be Proactive
  • Listen
  • .  People are now, more than ever, voicing their opinions online to thousands of people through social media channels like Twitter – and they expect companies to respond.
  • ...6 more annotations...
  • What happens if the company ignores it, is ignorant to the noise or is choosing not to engage in social media?  That pile of complaints only grows bigger.  As social media continues to grow, this is a trend that will only continue to grow.  If a business wants to make social media a part of their marketing and outreach efforts, then it’s necessary to stop talking once in a while and start listening.
  • Participate
  • It’s better to be involved so that a business can provide solutions and answers to issues that arise as opposed to being absent and letting the negative posts run their course.  If a company makes a concerted effort to rectify issues in social media, then others will see that effort and reward the company with their attention, understanding and likely their loyalty.
  • Respond
  • A part of participation as mentioned above.  You must respond in all instances.  While it used to be easy for a company to ignore letter writing campaigns and angry words through snail mail, that’s something that can’t be done anymore.  A company cannot ignore damaging accusations, especially through online interactions.
  • Responding doesn’t have to mean immediately giving in to people who are complaining or making demands of you.

Enriching Online Education through E-Service-Learning | Getting Smart - 0 views

    • Rachel Tan
       
      One research paper on E-service learning: A pedagogic innovation for healthcare management education, http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/16700443 It appears to be successful as they identified more areas for implementation: The authors then define and conceptualize e-service learning, including the anticipated outcomes of implementation such as enhanced access, quality, and cost effectiveness of healthcare management education. Because e-service learning is mediated by technology, we identify state of the art technologies that support e-service learning activities. In addition, possible e-service learning projects and activities that may be included in healthcare management courses such as finance, human resources, quality, service management/marketing and strategy are identified. Finally, opportunities for future research are suggested.

Tips for Using Chat as an Instructional Tool -- Campus Technology - 1 views

  •  
    This article was written 5 years ago. Now, we have the benefit of ubiqutious mobile chat platforms e.g. Whatsapp, which can create small focus groups to talk about a particular topic. Not only so, besides the usual text, Whatsapp also allows participants to share mobile videos taken on the spot, share their geolocations with one another, share audio recordings and of course, images. A personal example of how I use Whatsapp for personal learning: I use Whatsapp regularly to practice reading and writing my Japanese with a few other friends, and when I make mistakes, they can quickly give me feedback in real-time. We also exchange photos of Japanese culture, food items and even on-the-spot videos from those who are in Japan. Some of us go for Japanese classes, some don't. But those who go for the classes share what they have learnt with those who haven't.  I'm not sure if this can be classified as a type of "flipped learning", but I realized that mobile chat makes an excellent real-time, yet highly personalized tool for e-learning in small group discussions. Perhaps this is one area we can consider next time as a way to do mobile learning that harnesses the social nature of us learners.

  • ...2 more annotations...
  • if student satisfaction, engagement, and metacognitive awareness are all part of your definition of a successful course, then introducing Twitter in your classroom may be an option for you.
  • Twitter is not static. Rather, it is an interactive tool under learner control. Further, Maria Bannert refers to a metacognitive support device that “focuses students’ attention on their own thoughts and on understanding the activities they are engaged in during the course of learning.” When used explicitly as a tool to improve self-regulation through metacognitive support, Twitter becomes very effective.
