Harnessing the strength of online communities within higher education - 0 views

  •  
    This web article looks at the question of how can we enable students to construct knowledge and demonstrate higher order thinking skills online? The authors provide a helpful critique of superficial attempts to build sustainable online communities for example where LMS's are used for the transmission of content in higher education and do not allow students to build knowledge or engage in higher order thinking.

    I found this book the best single piece of information I have read throughout the course on online learning. I really like the fact that it has practical examples and ideas for a wide range of activities and learning outcomes. In my view that's refreshing because I think that the education literature can become sometimes too theoretical and abstract, elaborating on abstract descriptions of what and why should be done, but leaves you on your own when it comes to practical implementation of all the principles. I think that this is a great source of both theoretical and practical information on online learning.

    thanks Neal - I like the look of this one too - I am looking at motivation in my project so this might well be of use.

Social networking sites and cognitive abilities: Do they make you smarter? - 0 views

  •  
    The findings indicated that young people who had used Facebook (but not YouTube) for more than a year had higher scores in tests of verbal ability, working memory, and spelling, compared to their peers who had used it for a shorter time period.  - FB and other social media as a 'practice ground' for data sorting, communication and social connectedness - Also some interesting details on survey methods used.
