Friending and Footprints: Privacy and Ethical Issues of Facebook Use in Highe...Vanessa Dennen
Abstract: Facebook has increasingly been used as a pedagogical tool in the higher education classroom, attractive to many instructors because of its learner-centered, social orientation. However, using Facebook to support learning also brings ethical and privacy issues to the forefront. For example, instructors and students need to consider who friends whom and what types of personal information should be shared between instructors and their students. In this article, we review the literature and explore the efficacy of using Facebook in as a learning tool in higher education, discuss the issues related to ethical use and integration of the social media tool, and highlight privacy concerns. We recommend the development of clear guidelines to assist faculty who wish to use Facebook as part of their teaching practice.
Boundaries, Privacy, and Social Media Use in Higher Education: What do Stude...Vanessa Dennen
In this study, we examine university students’ beliefs and behaviors related to social media, identity, and boundaries in a higher education context. Findings suggest a complex and at times contradictory relationship between students and social media, in which they enjoy free access to information about and contributed by other people and freely share about themselves in a social or personal context, but are reticent to be active contributors in an academic context. Although students seek information about their instructors online, they do not believe that instructors might reciprocate. In contrast to a common assumption, they do not want to use social media in their coursework and prefer to restrict both their communication with instructors and coursework to private tools and settings.

Building a Collaborative Knowledge Base in Diigo: How Links, Tags, and Comme...Vanessa Dennen
Abstract: This case study examines the use of Diigo, a social bookmarking tool, in an online class. The purpose of using Diigo in this class was to create a collaborative knowledge base on the course topic around which students might interact. Students contributed relevant links to the Diigo group, although tagging appeared somewhat haphazard. Toward the end of the course, a tagging scheme started to emerge. The brief course duration likely limited the benefits of Diigo to this group, at least where tagging was concerned. Not all students contributed in the same way; some contributed more links whereas others were heavy commenters. Link contributors did not dominate the comment-based interactions. Instead, comments were based on mutual interests, with students letting each other know when and how their contributions were valued.

EATAW conference - Managing Boundaries by Dujardin and FarbeyFlorence Dujardin
This short paper reports on the evaluation of an induction module offered on a Master’s course offered exclusively as e-learning. The aim was to ascertain whether the module arrangements provided a bridge between the professional community that students belong to and the academic community. An evaluation tool was used heuristically to assess components of induction (Forrester et al. 2005). Findings suggest that the module was successful in helping students negotiate their entry into postgraduate study and e-learning, and that the components provided a valuable tool for module evaluation.
