This document discusses the relationship between social networking and institutional learning. It notes there can be tensions when social media practices overflow the institutional framing of learning. Students may use tools like Facebook and QQ for both social and educational purposes like communicating in groups. However, there appears to be disconnects between students' digital networks and official institutional systems. Students do underground work to replicate course content and discussions onto social media platforms that is largely unseen by the institution. While students engage in scholarly use of social media, there is little overlap between this and the technology used for educational purposes within their courses.
