Context
★ Multimedia in Education Masters Course
★ Training of active, critical and reflexive professionals/researchers
★ In-service professionals, mostly teachers

Why?
★ Conforming learning roadmaps with strong labour commitments
★ Message inheritance to future generations of ICT using
★ Flexible learning time management
![Page 4: Social media tools and applications in Higher Education](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022060123/559729991a28ab3d528b4674/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
What? (at curricular level)
★ B-learning offer

![Page 5: Social media tools and applications in Higher Education](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022060123/559729991a28ab3d528b4674/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
Curricular time organisation model
![Page 6: Social media tools and applications in Higher Education](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022060123/559729991a28ab3d528b4674/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
What (bridging...)
★ Curricular decisions have sound pedagogical repercussions
★ Concentration on a single curricular unit at a given moment in time | work overload, intense information flow, informed and shared group decision-making work
★ Potential engagement, communication and learning problem
![Page 7: Social media tools and applications in Higher Education](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022060123/559729991a28ab3d528b4674/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
What (pedagogically)
★ Technology
★ But for what?
★ Learning about technologies or learning with technologies?
★ What message are we passing to these students?
★ What message will they pass for their students?
![Page 8: Social media tools and applications in Higher Education](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022060123/559729991a28ab3d528b4674/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
What is happening?
★ Globalisation (what is where? what is now? what is how? what is who?)
★ Epistemological shifts (temporary nature of knowledge)
★ Ontological shifts (not only a consumer, but a prosumer)
★ Communication tools and services
![Page 9: Social media tools and applications in Higher Education](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022060123/559729991a28ab3d528b4674/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Learning and technology 101
★ It´s not about technology, it’s about people
★ Web 1.0 | Web 2.0 | Web 3.0 or Semantic Web
★ 3 interacting and mutually influencing vectors: learning, teaching methodology, technology
★ It´s up to us to dynamically shape this triangle
![Page 10: Social media tools and applications in Higher Education](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022060123/559729991a28ab3d528b4674/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)

Is it or isn’t it?
★ Framing social context
★ Is the frame part of the picture?
★ Situated learning, contextual learning, social constructivism...

Why?
★ Sharing and collaborating nature of work
★ Shared and negotiated meanings
★ Communication | peer and teacher-student
★ Openness | major social interaction
![Page 13: Social media tools and applications in Higher Education](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022060123/559729991a28ab3d528b4674/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)

★ Social media tools and applications
![Page 14: Social media tools and applications in Higher Education](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022060123/559729991a28ab3d528b4674/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Sufficiently mine technological solutions?
★ LMS | It is so flexible, wasn’t it?
★ Are students sufficiently in control?
★ Are these platforms sufficiently open?
★ Is it sufficiently easy to integrate content?
★ Are they sufficiently empowering and engaging tools?
![Page 15: Social media tools and applications in Higher Education](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022060123/559729991a28ab3d528b4674/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
The Web by Tim Berners-Lee
★ “The basic [idea] of the Web is that [of] an information space through which people can communicate, but communicate in a special way: communicate by sharing their knowledge in a pool. The idea was not just that it should be a big browsing medium. The idea was that everybody would be putting their ideas in, as well as taking them out.”
http://www.w3.org/1999/04/13-tbl.html (1999)

Quick survey
★ Who has a Web presence besides institutional ones?
★ Who had put new information in past week? Past month? Past year?
![Page 17: Social media tools and applications in Higher Education](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022060123/559729991a28ab3d528b4674/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
The Web 2.0 by Stephen Downes
★ “... What was happening was that major parts of the Web were acquiring the properties of communication networks, the sort of networks found to exist (albeit on a much smaller scale) in the physical world. And that the Web itself was being transformed from what was called “the Read Web” to “Read-Write Web” in accordance with Tim Berners-Lee’s original vision. Proponents of this new, evolving Web began calling it Web 2.0 and in short order the trend became a movement.”

Web 2.0 in MMEd
★ Previous knowledge and experience with Web 2.0 tools... very low
★ Previous effective use of LMS... low
★ Students: “Even more tools to manage?”
★ Expecting some negative reactions...
![Page 20: Social media tools and applications in Higher Education](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022060123/559729991a28ab3d528b4674/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Learn by doing/Hands-on approach
★ Start with basic concepts related to Web 2.0
★ Show most common tools (blogs, wikis, social bookmarking,...)
★ Objective: learn how easy it is to use Web 2.0 tools
★ Result: become Web 2.0 contributors
![Page 21: Social media tools and applications in Higher Education](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022060123/559729991a28ab3d528b4674/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
How to understand it?
★ feel it first...★ Promote a good experience for first time users (a teacher’s job)
★ Engage students in collaborative learning activities designed to take advantage of Web 2.0
★ ... reflect and discuss about it next★ Be curious
★ Learn to find the right tools and strategies for specific needs

LMS vs PLE
Scott Wilson (2005) - http://zope.cetis.ac.uk/members/scott/blogview?entry=20050125170206

How does your presence look like?
★ Where are you? Who are you? Do you share common interests with me?
★ Where are the non-verbal components of social interaction in Web scenarios?
★ Synchronous and distributed nature of interaction
![Page 29: Social media tools and applications in Higher Education](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022060123/559729991a28ab3d528b4674/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
Second Life
★ MUVE - MultiUser Virtual Environment
★ Social and economic interaction
★ It´s not someone else’s world and someone else’s imagination
![Page 30: Social media tools and applications in Higher Education](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022060123/559729991a28ab3d528b4674/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
Second Life and Learning
★ Formal learning activities: difficult to monitor, boring, possible cognitive overload due to number of interactions
★ Informal learning activities: massive set of interaction tools, participation and responsibility promoters
![Page 31: Social media tools and applications in Higher Education](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022060123/559729991a28ab3d528b4674/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
