The remainder of the document focuses on strategies and tools for implementing meaningful networked knowledge activities using social media that are grounded in educational theory and address student needs.

This document summarizes research on how teens use social media and how it impacts their identity and experiences in high school. The researchers surveyed and observed 48 high school students to understand how they navigate different social networks for varied purposes like self-expression, privacy, and learning. They found that teens curate their online identities carefully across platforms like Instagram, Snapchat, Facebook, and Twitter. While social media allows access to school information and peer connections, not using it can lead to isolation. The researchers conclude that teens are becoming adept at interacting online, and teachers could provide guidance to help support this development.
Effective Tagging Practices for Online Learning Environments: Dictionary or F...Vanessa Dennen
This document summarizes a study that compared the effectiveness of three different approaches to tagging online resources: freestyle tagging, dictionary-based tagging, and a combined freestyle and dictionary approach. 78 undergraduate students tagged resources using Diigo over five weeks under one of the three conditions. The findings showed that dictionary-only tagging reduced redundancy and synonyms the most, while freestyle tagging resulted in the most single-use and irrelevant tags. The combined approach was most effective by allowing students to both use predefined tags and add their own. The implications are that students need guidance to learn effective tagging and that dictionaries can help structure the activity while allowing flexibility.
Discussion Practices in Online Courses: An Online Survey of InstructorsVanessa Dennen
Discovery Session at OLC '17 (Vanessa Dennen, Tami Im)
This presentation just covers a small portion of the data from our survey. Contact the authors for additional information.
The document provides advice for the successful use of social media in education. It recommends starting with the learning activity rather than the tool, and identifying tacit learning objectives to consider student comfort levels. Educators should share ownership by discussing authorship and intellectual property with students. Tracking social media activity can provide insights into knowledge sharing. The overall message is to thoughtfully integrate social media to enhance learning rather than replicate existing systems.
Religious Narratives and Networked Learning Spaces: Using Blogs to Connect In...Vanessa Dennen
This document summarizes a study on using blogs to connect students personally to course material on the history of religion. Researchers had students in a university history of religion course blog twice weekly about readings and personal reflections. Analysis found blogging encouraged deeper engagement with readings and provided an outlet for personal perspectives. While some found it time-consuming, most students enjoyed the format and it correlated with better exam performance. The semi-private nature of the blogs created a safe space for discussion of potentially sensitive personal views and histories.
Using Diigo to Engage Learners in Course ReadingsVanessa Dennen
This document discusses using the social bookmarking tool Diigo to engage students in annotating course readings. Researchers evaluated student perceptions and use of Diigo in an educational technology course. Students initially found Diigo confusing or were curious about it. After using it, most students had a favorable view, finding it easy to use and potentially useful. However, some remained unclear on the learning objectives of annotating readings collaboratively online versus just bookmarking individually. For future iterations, researchers recommend more clearly articulating objectives and providing models of effective use.
Ethics and Social Media Research: Examining Private Lives on a Public StageVanessa Dennen
Dr. Vanessa Dennen discussed key ethical issues in conducting social media research. She explained how concepts like privacy exist on a continuum and are influenced by audience and intent. Researchers must consider whether participants see them as part of the intended audience and if they would feel at risk with a larger audience. The biggest concerns should be avoiding harm to participants and gaining proper consent rather than just IRB approval. Mitigation strategies like using pseudonyms, checking quotes, and reporting aggregate findings can help reduce risks. Researchers have a responsibility to respect participants' privacy, educate them and the IRB, and uphold high ethical standards.
Designing digital badges for a college courseVanessa Dennen
The document describes the design and implementation of six types of digital badges in an undergraduate educational technology course. The badges were created to motivate students to complete assignments thoroughly and on time, engage in class discussions, and participate in independent learning activities. A survey found that while some students felt badges were meaningful and motivating, others viewed them as redundant or only beneficial for younger learners. The subjective badges for best performance and excellence had the most positive responses. Overall, badges may only motivate 30-40% of learners, while many feel ambivalent toward them.
