It's the opposite of project-oriented collaboration tools that places people into groups. Social software supports the desire of individuals to be pulled into groups to achieve goals.

— Stowe Boyd

Software that supports group interaction

— Clay Shirky

Social Software

• giving and receiving rapid feedback and critique

• stimulating creativity

• facilitating collaborative study

• providing a real audience for student work

• fostering the development of critical thinking skills

• establishing a platform for academic discourse

• improving more mundane situations like time conflicts, remote access or location considerations.

Social Learning

...one of the strongest determinants of students’ success in higher education—more important than the details of their instructors’ teaching styles—was their ability to form or participate in small study groups. Students who studied in groups, even only once a week, were more engaged in their studies, were better prepared for class, and learned significantly more than students who worked on their own.
