Editor's Notes
- how many of you use social media in your personal life? How many use for work and professional development?
- 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.
- The average social media user age is 37 years old. 55+ is the fastest growing group.
- 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. How does it help education?

- 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. We have just reached 1000 users.
- 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.
- 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
