Final thoughts
• Open, participatory and social media enable new forms of communication and collaboration
• Communities in these spaces are complex and distributed
• Learners and teachers need to develop new digital literacy skills to harness their potential
• We need to rethink how we design, support and assess learning
• Open, participatory and social media can provide mechanisms for us to share and discuss teaching and research ideas in new ways
• We are seeing a blurring of boundaries: teachers/learners, teaching/research, real/virtual spaces, formal/informal modes of communication and publication
