Facing reality in a Further Education context – Using Facebook to create
learning communities without the cost of a hosted solution
Bridgend College
The FE Context• Constrained resources in an FE context• FE delivery• How Facebook acted as a vehicle for achieving
learning that was not possible otherwise
Memphis Trip Page
Why Social Networking?• Access 365 days a year• 24/7• Free• Embedded in their experience• Available on mobile and desktop devices• Direct Interaction and group focus
Social Intrusion• Managed by the tutor administrators, use of closed
group• The groups are subject specific, not College based• No personal Facebook interaction – not friending
students• Not in their direct interaction - its in group spaces• To date 100% of our students are facebook users
Creative Industry Specific
Better than face to face• Continuous learning outside the college• Enables follow-up discussion from class and Student
led research• Options for students who don’t interact as well in face
to face contexts
Student benefitThe students’ perception has been that the group has improved the range and flexibility of communication and provided an effective hub for communicating and learning between the staff and learners – evidence of support
“I found the group page a huge benefit, it enabled me to communicate with tutors and group members, it was a good source to contact members and share ideas”.
Danni Kennedy student 2012
Risks and how to address them• Facebook group is part of induction week• Risks were avoided • To date all students have respected the groups• All tutors are group administrators• All students feel part of a unique, specialised
environment
