5. Social Media Overview What is social media? A social media time-line Some theories that support social media

6. Social Media? Social Software? So what's in a word? Social Media, Social Software, Web 2.0? "The term 'social software', which is now used to define software that supports group interaction, has only become relatively popular within the last two or more years. However, the core ideas of social software itself enjoy a much longer history, running back to Vannevar Bush's ideas about 'memex' in 1945, and traveling through terms such as Augmentation, Groupware, and CSCW in the 1960s, 70s, 80s, and 90s.” Christopher Allen:http://www.lifewithalacrity.com/2004/10/tracing_the_evo.html

7. So what’s with the Web 2.0? "There is much debate about what exactly is meant by Web 2.0, a term first coined by O'Reilly Media , but broadly speaking, most definitions include the following elements: the web as platform (i.e. using it to carry out a range of tasks such as editing, image sharing, email, which previously had to be done via different software packages) the participatory web - editing and interacting with other people's web pages, rather than simply reading them the web becoming a dynamic and better-organised medium" http://www.jiscinfonet.ac.uk/infokits/social-software/definition

16. MAKING SENSE OF SOCIAL LEARNING with Social Media... 5 categories of learning where social media is being used: IOL - Intra-Organisational Learning - how social media can be used to keep the employees up to date and up to speed on strategic and other internal initiatives and activities FSL - Formal Structured Learning - how educators (teachers, trainers, learning designers) as well as students can use social media within formal education and training GDL - Group Directed Learning - how groups of individuals - teams, projects, study groups etc - can use social media to work and learn together (Note: a "group" could be as small as two people, so coaching and mentoring falls into this category) PDL - Personal Directed Learning - how individuals can use social media for their own (self-directed) personal or professional learning ASL - Accidental & Serendipitous Learning - how individuals, by using social media, can learn without consciously realising it (aka incidental or random learning)

18. Activity: Discussion on Practice In your table groups we would like you to discuss and reflect with each other on: How you make sense of your academic or professional practice?

19. Impact on Academic Activity Key Themes Social Media & E-learning Openness / Open Education Resources/ Open Course ware Attribution, Referencing, Citing

20. Social Media and E-Learning EARLY WEB Web 1.0 Web technologies SOCIAL WEB Web 2.0 Social technologies Read-Only publishing content/courses reading content some interaction with content focus mainly on content Read-Write Web sharing information and knowledge collaborative working and learning social learning focus mainly on people E-Learning 1.0 was all about delivering content , primarily in the form of online courses, produced by experts - teachers or subject matter experts. E-Learning 2.0 or Social Learning is all about individuals (co-)creating content in a variety of formats and sharing information and knowledge using tools like blogs, wikis, social bookmarking and social networks both within an educational or training context to support a new collaborative approach to learning as well as to support their own personal and group learning and working activities. - Social Media Academy http://c4lpt.co.uk/handbook/

24. Copyright, Fair Use and Attribution Standing on the shoulders of Giants? What we know is that Social web (peer to peer sharing) has: destroyed the business model of the music industry and forced them to rethink the way they do business. increased social production and ‘recycling’ of content with and without the permission of original creators. has encouraged the increasing use of marsh-ups or remix of other persons work. http://www.publicsphereproject.org/patterns/pattern.pl/public?pattern_id=176

25. Example… http://www.centerforsocialmedia.org/videos/remix_culture/

26. Is Copy ever Right? Copyright is protection for creators/owners and is there also to help promote the creation of culture. But copyright also allows individuals to create culture in a different way using existing culture. Remix culture is nothing new!

27. What constitutes fair use? “ Fair use is the right, in some circumstances, to quote copyrighted material without asking permission or paying for it. Fair use enables the creation of new culture, and keeps current copyright holders from being private censors.” Washington College of Law, the Center for Social Media ( http://www.centerforsocialmedia.org/resources/fair_use ) Fair use is a copyright principle based on the belief that the public is entitled to freely use portions of copyrighted materials for purposes of commentary and criticism. In its most general sense, a fair use is any copying of copyrighted material done for a limited purpose such as to comment upon, criticize or parody a copyrighted work. ( http://fairuse.stanford.edu/Copyright_and_Fair_Use_Overview /chapter9/9-a.html )

28. Citation and Attribution Credit is given in different ways: Citing & referencing (more academic) Attribution using a creative commons license or alternative.
