See on Scoop.it - Perspectives in Education


“In my work, I design, plan, carry out, evaluate and research online learning for teachers, but I rarely get to be an “online learner” (I enroll in plenty of MOOCs, but have yet to make it past week one!) Though this month-long forum was not officially an online course, it was similar enough that, by way of summarizing the discussion, I’d like to share some valuable lessons I learned as “online learner” that will help me—and I hope others—design better experiences for teachers.”

The Ultimate Guide to The Use of Facebook in Education

See on Scoop.it - Perspectives in Education

“There is a growing controversy over the use of Facebook in education.Some argue for its integration and others disfavour it. I believe that the main reason behind this controversy is the lack of solid empirical researches about the overall value of not only Facebook but all other popular social networking in education. There are , however, some researchers ( like Crook and Harrison ,Charnigo, Barnett-Ellis, Hewitt and Forte, Mathews, Mazer and Murphy ) who have written about the potential of social networking in education, yet only few studies have specifically addressed its role in pedagogy.”
