This OLC Institute post suggested three purposes and provided numerous examples of social media implementation and integration that may serve to "support learning in online courses" (2016.05.17, ¶3, ff.), namely: 1. Amplifying the physical and psychological engagement of learners (Engagement using social media); 2. Providing instruction to "enhance learning outcomes" (Instruction involving social media); and 3. Facilitating access to, and increasing availability of academic, career, and other "support services" (Student support using social media).

Can a teacher use the same teaching techniques in a face-to-face and an online course? According to a study conducted by Park, Johnson, Vath, Kubitskey, & Fishman (2013) on Examining the Roles of the Facilitator in Online and Face-to-Face Professional Development Contexts (Journal of Technology and Teacher Education, 21(2), 225-245), teachers need to cater to individual learners more online than face-to-face. In the face-to-face environments, students learn from each other and from the teacher. In the face-to-face class, the teacher is able to summarize the information for the students and get feedback from the students body language on how well they understood the information. In the online class, the teacher only knows whether the students understood or not from their writing. Teaching online requires that the teacher be very attentive and aware of the student's individual interests, needs, and level of understanding.

Melissa Venable distinguished between largely "learner-driven" MOOCs and "more structured" course offerings (¶3), outlined potential gains from taking part (Benefits of Participation), and suggested points for potential participants to consider before joining MOOCs, namely: Learning Objectives, Target Audience[s], Schedule[s] and Expectations, and Documented Learning (built-in or personal).
