The relationship between frequency of Facebook use, participation in Facebook activitie... - 0 views

  •  
    Another study looking at the relationship between social media use and academic achievement/engagement. Interesting that here some activities are more likely to have a positive impact. Are these the kind of interactions we could encourage by embracing learners' connectedness and engagement with social media? ► Students who spent more time on Facebook scored lower on an engagement scale. ► There was no relationship between time spent on Facebook and time spent studying. ► Students who spent more time on Facebook spent more time in campus activities. ► In general, Facebook activities were more strongly predictive of engagement. ► Some Facebook activities were negative predictors, while others were positive.

    Hello there, Thanks for sharing this Ivan - good one I hope I can effectively operationalize some ideas. Thanks Z
  •  
    Interesting! As are a number of the papers suggested afterwards which I will bookmark too! As an aside you may be interested in the paper Cass Business School students present to the Moodle Research Conference last year: http://research.moodle.net/mod/data/view.php?d=7&rid=124 One point of interest I'm keen to follow is the possible rise in more student-led studies (at City?) - in this case, both surveying students and by students. I'm also interested in how we could look more at involving learners in the design process.
