  • That potential for instant feedback adds a new edge and depth to the class
  • Hotseat probably helps most in large classes, where he says it "can give voice to the silent student body and help stimulate discussion.
  • And because Hotseat allows anonymous posts, says senior Tim Cummings, 21, students are more likely to ask questions they wouldn't if they had to speak out in person.

  • But if companies are to make the most of virtual collaboration, employees will have to learn that what works a bricks-and-mortar workplace may not be right for the virtual world.
  • Another issue is that virtual teams can't take advantage of the kind of impromptu "water cooler" conversations that occur in a real workplace, where colleagues can share information they may have forgotten to communicate in meetings.
  • Kahai says that lack of human contact can also lead to feelings of isolation, but adds that virtual worlds such as Second Life can help by recreating the water-cooler experience.

  • Suddenly, I’m not just the one at the front just dispensing everything, and the students aren’t just sort of milling about doing their thing — we’ve actually got a team of people working together. And Twitter is the glue that holds the team together.”
  • It’s also a data-gathering resource. Live discussion threads, Campbell noted, give professors loads of data on the previously mysterious question of what exactly is going on inside the heads of students during a lecture. No longer is a student’s ability to participate in classroom discussions contingent upon whether he is willing to raise his hand and has the good fortune to be called on, he said.

shared by Jennifer Jocz on 05 Nov 09 - Cached
  • Americans are not as isolated as has been previously reported. People's use of the mobile phone and the internet is associated with larger and more diverse discussion networks.
  • Our survey results challenge the finding that an increasing number of Americans have no one with whom they can discuss important matters. However, our findings support existing research that suggests that the average size and diversity of core discussion networks have declined.
  • ownership of a mobile phone and participation in a variety of internet activities were associated with larger and more diverse core discussion networks.
  • ...4 more annotations...
  • Social networking services, such as Facebook, provide new opportunities for users to maintain core social networks.
  • Contrary to the assumption that internet use encourages social contact across vast distances, we found that many internet technologies are used as much for local contact as they are for distant communication.
  • Contrary to the argument that internet use limits people's participation in the local community, local institutions and local spaces, our findings show that most internet activities are associated with higher levels of local activity. However, we find some evidence that use of social networking services (e.g., Facebook, MySpace, LinkedIn) substitutes for some level of neighborhood involvement.
  • internet use, and in particular the use of social networking services, are independently associated with higher levels of network diversity.
