Using Social Media to Support Active Learning Processes: The Networked Knowledge Activity Framework
2 likes556 views
This document discusses using social media to support active learning through networked knowledge activities. It introduces the Networked Knowledge Activity Framework, which includes six types of activities - collect, curate, share, broker, negotiate, and create - that involve interacting with and producing knowledge objects. Examples are provided for each type of activity. The framework is intended to help instructors think beyond the classroom and promote student interaction, production and engagement with content and other learners through social media platforms. When implemented effectively, these networked knowledge activities can support active learning outcomes.

- 2. What comes to mind when you think of social media?
- 3. Social Media + Learning ≠
- 4. Social Media + Learning ≠
- 5. Although …
- 6. Why active learning? Content acquisition is not the same thing as learning Pedagogical theories and models all support the necessity of practice and feedback
- 9. Why social media? Think about everything that lies beyond our classrooms
- 10. Humans
- 11. Information
- 12. Tools
- 13. Shift Into the Social Media Mindset Think beyond the class boundaries. Promote interaction and production (not just consumption).
- 14. Networked Knowledge Activities This is how the active learning takes place!

- 16. Collect.
- 17. Example: Collect Activity Scavenger Hunt š Students receive a list of items to find online and save (or share) to a communal location. Can add in a rating/scoring component. Pairs nicely with: š Curate, Share, and Negotiate Benefits: š Instructor opportunity to see the resources students are trying to use. š Tacit objectives: š Locate online resources on specific topical areas. š Evaluate online resources.

- 19. Example: Curate Activity Class Knowledge Base š Small groups of students are assigned topical areas to investigate online. They curate a “best of” resource for the class with annotations. Pairs nicely with: š Collect and Share Benefits: š Reflective engagement with learning objects š Tacit objective š Evaluate online resources. š Build knowledge base.
- 20. Share.
- 21. Example: Share Activity Knowledge sharing & tracking š Students use social media networks to share information or knowledge objects, then collect analytics to see what reaction their shared items received. Pairs nicely with: š Curate & Create Benefits: š Dissemination of renewable assessments š Tacit objectives š Effectively share information online. š Collect, analyze and report analytic data.
- 22. Broker.
- 23. Example: Broker Activity Professional Learning Network Development š Students seek out, join, and interact within a course-related social media network and report back to the class. š Potential to share items created within the class with a network, too! Pairs nicely with: š Curate & Create Benefits: š Authenticity š Possible dissemination of renewable assessments š Tacit objectives š Identify professional development opportunities. š Build knowledge base.
- 24. Negotiate.
- 25. Example: Negotiate Activity Problem solvers š Students locate online problems/cases in their field of study and share with the class. Small groups work together to find online resources that help solve the problem. Expert/professional guidance may be sought to evaluate solutions. Pairs nicely with: š Collect and curate. Benefits: š Authenticity š Tacit objective š Learn to use a new tool and/or to use a familiar tool differently.
- 26. Create.
- 27. Example: Create Activity Public Service Announcement / Public Education š Students create a resource that meets a specific public information or education need, and then disseminate it to that audience Pairs nicely with: š Share and Broker Benefits: š Create renewable assessments š Tacit objectives š Build professional networks. š Learn to use a new tool and/or to use a familiar tool differently.
- 28. The tools … are just tools (a non-exhaustive collection)
- 29. In sum … Learning is about doing something with knowledge. These are knowledge skills that EVERYONE needs. Knowledge Collect •From network •From resources Curate •From network •From collection Share •With network Broker •Between networks Negotiate •With network Create •With network
- 30. Thank you … and keep sharing! Any questions? Coming in 2019 Vanessa Dennen vdennen@fsu.edu @vdennen vanessadennen.com
