Social Media
In its third year, this group will continue the dialogue on using social media to increase communication, build an online learning community, create connections between instructors and students, and enhance engagement. We will focus on harnessing the capacity of social media and ask group members to share their experiences. We'll also explore the implications of integrating social media throughout higher education for an array of purposes (e.g., teaching, recruiting, advising, and more). We define social media as media that's used to build social networks and connections for sharing information through a mediated channel (e.g., Twitter, Facebook, Google+, Second Life, LinkedIn, YouTube, Tumblr, Pinterest, and more).
