  • the ability of college students to participate in small study groups is the most important determinant of academic success.  Furthermore, students who study with other students at least once per week are more engaged and better prepared than students who study solo.
  • This has deep implications for social media and its application inside and outside of the classroom walls.
  • But unlike traditional study groups, tech-savvy teachers can join in and geographic limitations are erased.

    The annual CDW-G 21st-Century Campus Report shows growth in social media over the years. According to the 2010 study, 64 percent of college students reported using social media to connect with classmates on class assignments at least several times a month, up from 52 percent of students who used social media for classes in 2009. Ideas on how colleges are leveraging social media tools for learning.

  • Eventually, each time someone would email something that would be better served on the wiki, they were instructed to place it there under the appropriate wiki page.  But how did Vistaprint know what content was being shared via email in the first place?
  • his was a gradual process but overtime Vistaprint started to see internal social pressure to put things on the wiki.
  • ...7 more annotations...
  • Employees would be at a meeting and during discussions someone would always say, “is that info up on the wiki?” 
  • This allowed and even forced employees to keep information on the wiki current and updated.
  • This was the beginning of a significant cultural shift because other departments were asking for a wiki. 
  • They understood the opportunities, saw the potential, and wanted in.
  • All departments were interviewed to understand what their needs and requirements were.  After conducting the interviews, it was determined that media wiki may not be the best approach since departments wanted to work with existing file formats such as PDF, Word, Excel, and others that were not supported by the wiki platform.
  • As a result, Vistaprint decided to keep the media wiki but instead integrated Sharepoint as a document management platform.
  • Organic growth was not trusted so a skeletal structure was built

  • First, it is consistent with other findings that the more discussions students have to pay attention to, the less satisfied they were with the learning environment.
  • so perhaps they do not need higher levels of interaction because the content may not need interpretation or further analysis.

  • Third, “requiring student interaction just for the sake of interaction may lead to diminished completion rates. Again, standards for online teaching should not contain arbitrary thresholds for required interaction.”
  • This doesn’t mean we should discourage interaction, but it does mean we should not measure the quality of a program based on inputs like seat time.

    This is an interesting study on online learning. The results are counterintuitive to our thinking.

  • Artificial disciplinary boundaries were drawn, and research was put in silos that grew ever narrower. Therefore, you have scientists who study mice. You have scientists who study yeast. Institutional boundaries and funding incentives often discourage, rather than encourage people in different fields to collaborate. 
  • The interdisciplinary approach both to research and learning is starting to gain favor again because people are starting to recognize the dysfunction that is often apparent in large research institutions, but also because the small and nimble research labs are proving they have a method for speeding the pace and reducing the cost of discovery.

  • To solve this problem, we obviously need to address the inadequacies of both the K-12 system as well as college, where students are graduating without the real-life skills that will give them a competitive edge in the global job market. 
  • The responsibility of committing to lifelong learning certainly falls on individuals if they hope to get ahead. But the responsibility falls on companies as well. In fact, if businesses do not make the investment in the professional development of their employees, they will lose the best ones (and, perversely, keep the worst ones).

  • to’s study found that high school age students, when working on their own, interact with digital media in one of three ways: 1) “hanging out,” in social networks or online spaces such as blogs, chats or Facebook; 2)“messing around,” or tinkering with software to produce various types of media; 3) “geeking out,” a more serious exploration of one type of media or technology, often in online interest groups. Media to young people might mean Japanese anime, fan fiction, spoken word or rap poetry, video, music or any combination of different forms and styles of communication.
  • The activity at the center is designed to encourage young people to move along a continuum of engagement, from “messing around,” to “geeking out.”
  • YOUmedia center have an instant means of broadcasting their work and get instant feedback from other students and adult mentors. Broadcasting and networking is an essential part of the YOUmedia experience, one that echoes the way young people use technology on their own.
