Design is the New Black - How to integrate thoughtful learning design in soci...Stella Lee
This is my talk at Lingnan University Hong Kong on April 19, 2012.
Abstract: Social media such as Twitter, Facebook, Yammer, and YouTube are finding their way into the classrooms and work-placed learning. People use these tools to communicate, collaborate, share and create. Thus far, much of the knowledge sharing and creation is being done on an ad-hoc basis, and detached from integrating social media into a larger pedagogical framework of organizational learning, both formally and informally. What does it mean to use social media for professional development? More importantly, how do we design meaningful learning environments to ensure a positive learning experience? This seminar will examine some of the issues concerning the role of social media, and share some examples and best practices on how to design and integrate social media into higher education. Examples will also include the impact of social media on global corporate environments which have relevance for graduates.

June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202

Synthetic fibers play a crucial role in modern society, impacting various aspects of daily life, industry, and the environment. ynthetic fibers are integral to modern life, offering a range of benefits from cost-effectiveness and versatility to innovative applications and performance characteristics. While they pose environmental challenges, ongoing research and development aim to create more sustainable and eco-friendly alternatives. Understanding the importance of synthetic fibers helps in appreciating their role in the economy, industry, and daily life, while also emphasizing the need for sustainable practices and innovation.
Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.

16. A “DIY” model
• A lot more amateurish effort (Shirky, 2008)
• It is scattered all over, many overlapping effort
• It is organic/self-organizing
• A sub-culture movement (not officially supported by institutions)
17. Some social media usage at Golder
Associates

Blackboard within two minutes without technical support
• 90% of the students clicked on the Twitter link embedded in the course
website
• Students completing Intro to Philosophy course gives the course
Facebook website an average of 4.0 rating on a five-point Likert scale for
ease of use
28. LX

today is how many of us learn to use
digital media and networks effectively,
reasonably, credibly, collaboratively,
civilly, humanely. This difference is a
matter of literacy.”

how many of you use social media in your personal life? How many use for teaching and learning?
I can’t help but start every one of my international talk with this slide.
There are over 30 definitions of social media. It scales well, gaining strengths from large numbers, bottom-up control rather than top-down.
http://heidicohen.com/social-media-definition/
In Canada, just about any organizations and companies have some sort of presence on social media. As a nation, we are highly connected and fairly social online.6S Marketing, a Vancouver based internet marketing company, conducted a survey on the use of social media in Canada.
The average social media user age is 37 years old. 55+ is the fastest growing group.
--Sina Weibbo, a hugely popular social microblogging site, is used by more than 2 million which is 28 percent of the entire Hong Kong population. During one unusually strong week, Sina Weibo picked up 1 million bloggers!
How does it help education? Level the playing field, costs nothing (well, almost!) and it has a broader/different reach. We can talk to each other directly - huge for virtual workplace, distance learning.
yammer is our internal social networking site, a private facebook site if you will. Jam is our social learning site.
not a huge uptake - not officially supported, it has grown organically, not fully understand what it is for, people are careful to post only work-related comments.
hard to design (need to link it back to specific modules), hard to measure
The first three are public tools, the last one is an in-house tools we are developing. The in-house tool is more suited for teaching and learning purposes.
Official fanpage. We have admins from across the university who monitor activity, and one staff in recruitment actively answers questions and posts articles.
I particularly like this feature. Again, it suits our purpose since we have students from all around the world who are interested in our courses/programs.
2189 users. Hard to convince faculty to use it, students are using it more as private study groups. Hard to measure. Not officially connected to actual courses. Hard to link theory with practice.
271 groups, 29% grad courses, 16% undergrad, 24% admin.
Most activities are social - the way we currently design e-learning doesn’t take that into consideration
had 160,000 students signed up. Two-thirds from outside the US.
multiple ways to produce/lurk
Include members to share/connect, allow self-organization and control (open vs. closed groups)
“Impression to create simplicity even in the most complex applications” - Jon Meada
Encourage experimentation
We need to embed these literacy skills directly into our courses/training material. Teach them within the context they are in.
Attention: ADHD, task switching, a skill that needs to be learned, practice and evolved. The whole attention span and the amount of time people are willing to work on some stuff. There are dire consequences for quality of research/study - very shallow, where are the great researchers coming out of this?
We need to have a big-picture roadmap to show students where they are going. Participations have their place, but so are classroom lectures. WE need to have that knowledge base and that structure.
The ability to triangulate information, filter information, evaluate information. Learn to ask questions about the validity, authenticity of the source.
Group work is important for distance self-paced, self-study learners. They need to be taught how to work with virtual groups. How to self-organized, how to regulate within the group and understand group dynamics.
The need to understand your voice, be responsible for your voice, knowing that your digital footprint will be around forever. Also understanding about your private vs. public space implication. Privacy issue will be huge.
