LEARNING AND „new“ MEDIA

Virtual Learning Environment / Learning Management System

Compulsory learning media (e.g. from uni, like Moodle)

Provision, organisation and management of study material and learning processes

Assessment

Like patchwork – many little pieces are creating a big masterpiece (It‘s alive)

WHERE? Profiles in social networks with various privacy settings

Browser settings with apps

With special programs: netvibes (costs) or Symbaloo Edu (free)

Smartphones


Learning and „new“ media II

Social-media programs – interactive web services

Focused on the student (control, design, usage time)

Learning culture is completely different – intrinsic motivation

FACEBOOK - LIMITATIONS

Private Usage

500 “Liked” Page LimitPrivacy issues

Educational UsageGroup 5000 Limit for invitations or messages

Page/Event Creator’s Restrictions (need an extra admin to send inviations, see all options)

Can’t pull in photos etc. automatically from a user to a Page or group

No power to “costumize” Groups or Sites the way businesses or educ. Institutions would like to


SECURITY & PRIVACY ISSUES

How do I keep my privacy?

Main problem: constant changes in privacy settings

Try to keep updated and create different lists with different viewing options

What about secured information of research etc.?

Groups need to be private and only open upon invitation

Admin has to decide

Overall: everything on Facebook is never really private – e.g. if friends privacy settings are weak, they could share YOUR things

take care when sharing information & decide

which information
