- 社交媒体网站的功能使其成为高等教育中学生交流和协作的学习平台。此外,很明显,学生Facebook用户一直在重新利用其功能,以满足他们的学术要求。本研究旨在确定Facebook群组和Blackboard学习管理系统(LMS)是否可以增强学习者体验,如果可以,以何种方式。该研究采用了启发式评估与教育相关的标准集[1]。结果表明,Facebook群组比Blackboard更适合点对点通信,这可能是由于Facebook中的通知系统。分析表明,在某些情况下,Blackboard和Facebook的优势和劣势是互补的,因此可以说,可以改善学生的整体体验。
- The features of social media sites make them potentially effective as a learning platform for student communication and collaboration in higher education. Moreover it has become apparent that student Facebook users have been repurposing its features to fit their academic requirements. This study aims to determine if Facebook Groups and the Blackboard Learning Management System (LMS) can enhance the learner experience, and if so, in what way. The study made use of a heuristic evaluation with an educationally relevant criteria set [1]. The results, amongst other things, indicate that Facebook Groups are more useful for peer-to-peer communication than Blackboard, probably due to the notification system in Facebook. Analysis indicated that in some instances the strengths and weaknesses of Blackboard and Facebook were complementary and therefore could, arguably, improve the overall student experience.
