This toolkit was born out of the question of: To what extent is and can social media be used for teaching, learning and research?
The Toolkit is an outcome of the Somecat project. It is a joint project between the Center for Innovative Teaching and Learning, School of Management and Law, Zurich University of Applied Sciences (Coordinator); the Political Science Department of Perm State University (Russia); the Department of Informatics at Ankara University (Turkey) and the nexus Institute for Cooperation Management and Interdisciplinary Research (Germany).
You will be guided through the entire toolkit online.
Not sure which type of social media is right for your class?
No problem, just answer four quick questions about the way you teach and what you want your students to learn. Based on your answers, we can tell you which of the six types of social media is best for you.
This tool is prepared to be a guide for you, pointing out the best and most efficient social media for your course or in other education processes. For this purpose we have classified the social media under six headings, which are most appropriate for educational purposes. Please click Classification Table to see the different classifications.
First, we will ask you four questions related to the nature of your course and your teaching habits, namely your preferences about the taxonomy of learning, educational content, instructional methods and assessment. Based on the results we will pattern-match based on well-known and trusted instructional theories, taxonomies and approaches. In the case of multi probability among the choices, we will also ask another question about your preferences to clarify your priorities. After that, we will present you with the most effective social media to be used along within your course or training programme.
At the end of the toolkit, you will be directed to Instructional Tips that contain a detailed explanation about the social media suggested to you. Our suggestions will be as realistic as possible, based on the number of questions you answer, and the amount of detailed given.
