Social Learning does NOT mean Social Media

Social Learning does NOT mean Social Media | Distance Learning, mLearning, Digital Education, Technology | Scoop.it

"Even though both social learning and social media witness a lot of human interaction, social media plays a very small role in social learning in the workplace. Instructional designers need, besides real face-to-face collaboration during the learning process, a digital watercooler around which employees gather, have high quality conversations and discuss about possible solutions to business problems."

Academic Digital Etiquette: Interacting in online spaces

Academic Digital Etiquette: Interacting in online spaces | Distance Learning, mLearning, Digital Education, Technology | Scoop.it

Celia's reflections:

 

"I have had many discussions with students about the protocols on interacting in online spaces in an academic or professional manner. Whether they be commenting on a blog or giving feedback in comments on a Google document or interacting in Edmodo or Google Classroom, students need to be modelled the ‘professional’ way to behave. Commenting within an academic context is in fact providing feedback and as such quite a complicated skill for a young student."
