How Social Media Can Been Used As (e)Learning Platforms?Social media is basically a structure that consists:
Individuals
Communities
Companies or Organizations
They are with similar
Interests
Attitudes
Visions and Friendships
In the field of eLearning this structure can be used in various ways and through a number of tools.
Social Channels – Using as Learning ChannelFacebook
The instructor can effortlessly create a closed or an open group
share information, ideas, quizzes, questionnaires, materials, pictures, or even an entire page on a specific course or module
Students can freely talk about various course-related issues, questions they might have, post mutually interesting information and generally things they want to share
Can be used as a backchannel to connect learning communities or smaller classrooms over a specific topic or event
To share highlights, make statements, upload pictures, etc.
All instructors have to do is create an account and communicate its #hashtag to their students/followers
Social Channels – Using as Learning ChannelGooglePlus
Google plus communities have been used heavily as learning platforms and one of the major reasons is that both learners and facilitators are getting less distracted versus Facebook and Twitter.
Students wants private life and faculty life separated
The ability of G+ to host communities with video embeds, comments plus Google hangouts surely makes it the strongest social media platform for social learning
YouTube
An excellent resource for eLearning
It’s free and can be used to support a class, while viewers can also rate the video’s content and quality, as well as comment
These videos can be part of a course, but instructors can also use it to broadcast entire tutorials or just teasers to attract the audience they want.
Don’t dismiss the value and potential of social media in eLearning…..
You’d surprised by the endless possibilities they offer……!!!!!
