  • The Pennsylvania State University, the University of Michigan, Mississippi State University, and Allegheny College, offer applications allowing students and faculty members to search the library catalog without leaving Facebook
  • Course Profiles goes far beyond importing an existing service into Facebook. The application was developed by a team at The Open University, which teaches 33 percent of all part-time undergraduates in the UK and is a distance learning leader. Students who have installed Course Profiles can display courses taken on their Facebook profile just by selecting the related course codes. They can click on the title of a course and access another panel to check out course details, access a list of Facebook friends enrolled in this class, find a new study buddy, recommend the course to their friends, or post comments about it to the dedicated wall.

      so, why make them move away from where they already are? why not find a way to use Facebook like this?!
  • Marquette University associate professor Gee Ekechai uses Twitter to discuss what she's teaching in class with students and connect them with experts in the field of advertising and public relations.
  • When guest speakers come to class, some students are responsible for publishing the speaker's thoughts on Twitter during the presentation - called "live tweeting."

  • Menck says Twitter has increased the amount of communication she has with students. She gets direct messages from students about the industry or the course. She also "listens" to the conversations students have with each other on Twitter to gauge what they're interested in or what questions they have.

      can be done on Schools on Facebook
  • Twitter also allows faculty members to post links to what they're reading. Students who "follow" a professor's tweets can get a look at the news stories that help inform their professor's lectures or connect with the experts their teachers are following.
  • But others, particularly those who teach in communications fields, are finding that Twitter and other social media are key devices for students and faculty to include in their professional toolbox.
  • John Jordan, an associate professor in UWM's communication department, teaches students about social media but doesn't use Facebook or Twitter with students, opting for more formal channels of communication. "Not all of yourself can be public," he said. "There are notions of professionalism. Just the little back and forth that you have with your friends - you may not want your students to ask you about that."
