Social Media in the Classroom: Challenges and Strategies in Faculty Development
Abstract
Abilene Christian University began developing a campus wide
mobile learning program in 2008, providing a context of campus
saturation by 2010. The re-imagining of teaching and learning prompted by
this initiative led to the use of mobile learning and to the
introduction of social media components into the learning context. This
paper will discuss the promise and challenges of social media in the
classroom, explore the use of social media in higher education, and
discuss the strategies that the Adams Center for Teaching and Learning
has used in order to provide faculty development training for the use of
social media within both traditional and non-traditional learning
environments.
is a cross-collaborative initiative where Tarleton State University students, faculty, and staff organize an annual social media conference and produce a peer-reviewed social media research journal. Follow us on Twitter and Facebook for the latest social media news, research, and more.
