The term ’social e-learning’ is a new one to me (there’s a new term generated every minute it seems) - it’s a conflation of social networking and e-learning.
A group funded by the Australian Flexible Learning Framework has created a useful set of guides, case studies and resources with a practical focus to support educators who want to learn about and/or use social networking as part of the learning experience that they provide to students. It’s particularly useful because it demonstrates how people have used these kinds of tools through the case studies as well as providing information on how to develop your own skills in the area. Although this was developed by VET, it is relevant to anyone from any sector who uses, or wants to use, social networking tools in teaching and learning.
