Abstract

Five faculty members were interviewed for a study that examined how faculty are using social media to support student learning and how their perceptions about social media tools compare to their students'. This presentation will explore social media as educational tools, relevant learning activities, opportunities to create personal learning environments, and an avenue to enhance the teacher-student relationship.
