2.0 MOOC social web Twitter Facebook learning education

shared by alwaysaddglitter on 20 Jul 18 - No Cached
  • digital social tools and environments located outside of the provision of a formal university-provided Learning Management System.
  • We identified that, although some participants benefitted from social media by crediting it, for example, with networking and knowledge-sharing opportunities, others objected or refused to engage with social media, perceiving it as a waste of their time.
  • Social media sites are increasingly being used for educational purposes and a range of benefits and drawbacks have been documented in the research. We examine how the usage of social media in the MOOC enhanced participants’ overall learning experience and how it led to increased networking and knowledge sharing with peers.

  • When deployed for learning, social media can facilitate the development of online communities, allowing for collaborative and participatory engagement by placing emphasis on collective knowledge and social interaction
  • Social media can help strengthen the social relationships among students, heighten students’ self-esteem, and boost their learning performance
  • social media platforms tend to be more popular with students for peer-to-peer interactions (Davies et al. 2010; Veletsianos and Navarrete 2012) due to their familiarity and flexibility.
  • In MOOCs, where engagement and motivation tend to be low (de Freitas, Morgan, and Gibson 2015; Yang et al. 2013), social media may be beneficial in fostering online learning communities, which, in the context of a MOOC, are necessarily located online, enabled by an LMS (also referred to as Virtual Learning Environment) or social networking site.
  • The participants have a shared goal, support one another, produce material collaboratively, show a sense of belonging to the community, and are interested in the welfare of its members.
  • Online learning communities have been found to engage students in collaborative learning and reflective practice (Oliver et al. 2007).
  • Other studies show that students feel that social media reduces student collaboration because students work separately on different parts of a project, which minimises opportunities for collaborative learning
  • Students may feel that using social media in education distorts the boundaries between their online social and educational worlds, between social and informal and formal spaces, and between public and private spaces
  • Both students and academics may feel that social media for educational purposes interferes with their private lives, which raises concerns about representing identities in the online enviro
  • How and to what extent does social media enhance or complement participants’ overall learning processes and outcomes?’ is the key question that drives us to be particularly interested in investigating two outcomes
  • In addition to the structured LMS, more informal social media elements were offered. The CD MOOC designers selected Facebook and Twitter as social media platforms for participants to use, based on the studies that social media contributes to collaborative learning experiences
  • The Facebook group and the Twitter hashtag (#CDMOOC) were created in February 2014 to coincide with the beginning of the CD MOOC.

      The use of hashtags to organize thoughts and connect virtual users seems to be a best practice with online instruction related to social media.
  • On the Facebook group, moderators guided participants to ask questions about the CD MOOC, seek practical help, communicate and discuss issues around work tasks, and share links to online group work and resources. Twitter was used by both the CD MOOC team and participants to share practical information and resources, while also encouraging participants to share their thoughts and experiences.

      #EME6414 is structured relatively the same way minus the Facebook group but rather numerous other groups on various Web 2.0 tools
  • The social media postings data revealed that Facebook was most frequently used by the CD MOOC participants, compared to the microblogging site Twitter.
  • with some participants ‘signing off’ by displaying their certificate of completion.
  • The Twitter hashtag attracted 664 tweets over a 9-month period. Initially, Twitter was used by participants to announce their intention to participate in the CD MOOC, and then during the MOOC to gather, provide and exchange resources and information.
  • approximately half of all interviewees used at least one of the social media platforms in the CD MOOC. The most used form of social media was Facebook (used by 31%), a small minority (3%) used Twitter only, while 14% of interviewees utilised both Facebook and Twitter.
  • The Facebook group was used for discussions, while Twitter was used for gathering and providing information.
  • The first theme revealed that the online collaboration through social media assisted participants by enhancing their learning. The second theme showcased that many participants enjoyed and benefitted from using social media to engage with a diverse range of people with whom to network and exchange knowledge.
  • the third theme illuminated the reasons behind participants’ objections or reluctance to use social media within their structured online learning experience.
  • These participants reported various positive social aspects of their learning process enhanced by using Facebook, confirming other studies
  • Participants who used the CD MOOC Facebook group, but did not use Twitter, thought that social media was useful for posting and gathering information, and that Facebook improved their learning outcomes by facilitating discussion with peers and moderators. Facebook was also seen as an easy aid to increase learning and encourage discussions with peers as it facilitated the sharing of videos and images, and hence allowed participants to directly see others’ work. Facebook also served as a spark for a discussion, which could then be built upon within the more structured MOOC environment.
  • Both survey and interview participants spoke of the benefits of networking with people from different backgrounds, locations and professional affiliations when using social media platforms to connect and further their learning outcomes in the CD MOOC.
  • ‘collaborating with participants worldwide made it a great cultural experience, particularly in seeing how social media is taking on the world’.
  • The main objections to using social media can be divided into three categories: a belief that social media might be a waste of time; the perception of social media platforms as confusing or intimidating; and concerns about blurring social and professional identities.
  • these participants believed that social media would ‘take time away’ from what could otherwise have been spent on the structured parts of the CD MOOC,
  • Meanwhile, a number of participants wanted to use the social media with which they were familiar and comfortable. Some of these participants were notably less enthusiastic about the use of CourseSites LMS of the CD MOOC, instead preferring to spend time on social media.
  • learners often prefer to use the social media to which they are already accustomed
  • Another objection by participants related to their lack of knowledge about social media platforms and their resulting confusion.
  • A third key objection of participants to engaging with the social media elements of the CD MOOC dealt with reluctance about what was perceived as a potential merging of professional and social identities
  • The reluctance to blur social and professional identities is a common theme emerging from the literature on online learners and MOOC participants
  • Based on their findings, Jones et al. (2010) recommend that learning design address individual student preferences to either combine or separate their online identities.
  • The benefits included enhancing learning through the social and informal interaction with their peers, and from the online communities that formed around the CD MOOC. Connecting with peers using social media also strengthened participants’ sense of belonging to the CD MOOC cohort.
  • The challenges of online learning include becoming skillful in and comfortable with new technology, developing ways to relate to and communicate with other learners online, and becoming comfortable about having an online presence and digital identity.

    This article argues that the term "screen time" is an antiquated approach to researching web and social media usage. The the connected age we live in, and with the wide arrange "screen" utilizations, it is better to research in terms of "screenomes," a coined term that looks at web uses like genomes. How one utilizes the web is more important than how much time spent on the screen.

Tweeting the Lecture: How Social Media Can Increase Student Engagement in Higher Education - 5 views

    In this article, two Australian researchers investigated whether Twitter can be used to foster enhanced student engagement within a university level sport marketing course. 68 students participated in the study. 59% of the class did not have an existing Twitter account and had to sign up for one to participate in the study. There were two aspects of Twitter user during the course. First, students would participate in two discussion lectures, which was structured much the same as a Twitter chat, with questions posted in advance of the actual discussion. The second aspect was to regularly post contemporary issues in sport marketing that coincided with the course content. Much like EME 6414, students used a hashtagged course code to be able to track the activity and respond to their classmates. I thought it was interesting that the researchers explicitly advised existing Twitter users that they did not have to censor their regular Twitter activity, as the instructor would only follow the course hashtag. This appears to be a clear acknowledgement of the potential for context collapse when social media is incorporated into an educational setting. Questionnaires were administered to broadly measure aspects of student engagement. The results suggest that Twitter was effective in the university classroom as engagement levels increased over the semester. Twitter made it easier for students to connect with both the instructor and other students and extend that connection beyond the lecture time in the classroom. These networking tools also allow students to take on a more active role in the co-creation of the course content. I think this is one of the most significant advantages of incorporating social networking elements into the classroom. The biggest limitations of the study were its small sample size and homogeneous population. Future studies should include more students from various disciplines.

    It took me a very long time to find the comment button to add another thought to my original post. Not nearly as noticeable as other discussion platforms. Anyway...I wanted to add that this article was very appropriate right now because the TA for EME 5608 is currently conducting research on a very similar topic, specifically "when and how social media apps like Instagram are used by students (without instructor participation) to support social interaction and build social connections in online courses." I know some of you are also in that course and I'm curious what your opinions are on the experiment? Do you think that interacting on Instagram has increased your social connections and added benefit to the learning experience?

    Hi Alyn, I frequently have to develop artwork, etc and match colors. It is a challenge to get the right colors from Microsoft program colors to match Adobe program color pallets without wasting a lot of time. The results when printing can be drastically different. So this tool looked very appealing to me and I attempted to download. However, my McAfee automatically removed the download with a message that it contained a Trojan virus. Have you had any problems?

    At the start of this class, I thought Twitter was too much trouble, why bother. In the article you bookmarked, I would think that all one has to do was just call someone, or speak to another person. However, after emailing you and others today about things, I realized how valuable it is to be able to respond to someone with just a quick answer. This eliminates the formality of face to face conversations which usually take a lot of extra time ("hi, how are you? I'm fine, how is the family, etc....waiting for the right moment to get to the real reason why one called). I am all for f2f get togethers and phone conversations, either socially or professionally, but when it comes to things like finding out educational policies that could be answered by knowledgeable people within a few seconds, why not just cut to the chase and get a quick short answer, unless of course, one is fortunate to have an abundance of time...cough....cough.. This has awakened me to the power of Twitter and its role in education. Thanks.

    Makes you wonder if we really should be using Facebook in education. I've no problem with folks choosing to use it, but if classes pressure students into using it? That can be a real problem.
  • Loreli Smyth on 29 Jun 13
     
    This does pose a problem because even if you were to use it in education (but not forcing everyone to use it) Facebook could still collect data from non-users by other students in the class who are connected to Facebook, use the find friends feature, and have non-Facebook using student's information in their smart phones. I would like to know more about why Facebook collects this data of non-users, what purpose does it serve them? It also made me realize how Facebook can get my personal information when I post my new address to a friends wall, or share a new cell phone number. I may not have manually uploaded the information on the Facebook account, but writing it on my friends wall may be all the information Facebook needs from me.
  • Sheryl summer 6414 on 30 Jun 13
     
    This does pose a problem, especially for users like me that are infrequent with posts. I feel like I should be in there everyday "watching" for some weird activity. But I just don't have that kind of time. I am a smart phone user of all of 2 months now and already I have deleted my facebook app from my phone. I am certain I never opted to remain signed in, yet somehow I was. Then, while searching for a phone number in my contacts, I realized that the FB app had attached itself to all of my phone contacts. Too invasive. I like the idea of sharing information over platforms like Collaborate. There is a little more oversight and transparency.
