It is recognised by all staff that social media is the preferred and most popular method of communication for a large proportion of students – particularly Face Book. There was general consensus that social media should be incorporated to meet learner preferences but raising awareness of eSafety issues related to their use requires to be addressed. There are also concerns that using these types of technology can trivialise the learning experience and that they are not an appropriate place for learning materials.
Some staff are keen to see “Box of Broadcasts” integrated into the learning platform.
