Social Networking and Learning
January 21, 2009
I ran across this blog article that listed many different social/networking sites.
Many courses (online/classroom) are geared towards a very particular audience. For example, employees at a specific company. What if your courses were for the general public? Could you add on some of these social sites to allow participants to discuss the course topics and interact with each other? (second life is doing it.) Will people find your training courses because of their participation in a social network? Does this help you market your course?
During my master’s program at the University of North Texas, I took a few online courses with Blackboard and WebCT. It would have been great to have better “connected” to those participants and to be able to keep in contact with them once the course was complete. We could have even had different assignments around finding social online groups to interact with.
Web 2.0…it’s all about us interacting and learning from eachother! How are you going to engage your learners in new ways?
