Facebook users in one university network have become more wary of revealing sensitive personal information to the public even as they seem to be revealing much more about themselves to Facebook and its third-party business partners, an academic...
Catherine Cronin's insight:
Survey of undergraduates: "“over time, the amount and scope of personal information that Facebook users have revealed to friends’ profiles seems to have markedly increased — and thus, so have disclosures to Facebook itself, third-party apps, and (indirectly) advertisers.” Delete the scoop?

""The transmission of knowledge need no longer be tethered to a college campus. The technical affordances of cloud-based computing, digital textbooks, mobile connectivity, high-quality streaming video, and “just-in-time” information gathering have pushed vast amounts of knowledge to the “placeless” Web. This has sparked a robust re-examination of the modern university’s mission and its role within networked society." Via ghbrett Delete the scoop?

A fascinating interview with Ismael Peña Lopes about PLE's and reimagining education. "I do not think there are different PLEs for teachers/researchers or students, but all of them are nodes of the same mesh.

Rey Junco (2010) Journal of Computer Assisted Learning. This paper describes our semester- long experimental study to determine if using Twitter for educationally relevant purposes can impact college student engagement and grades.

This is a great presentation, containing rich images and video. Alec Couros (@courosa) is making a somewhat fine distinction between digital literacies and digital fluency, but overall, the content of this presentation is what we have explored in CT231 Professional Skills within the context of digital literacies. Worth a view. Via ewaadam Delete the scoop?

Catherine Cronin's insight:
CT231 students are encouraged to organise and share their work online; the concept of a Personal Learning Portfolio is useful in this respect. The control of the portfolio is the student's alone, not the institution's. Delete the scoop?
