Call for Respondents: Large-Scale Research Project on the Educational use of Social Network Websites

Educational Social Software: The Use of Social Network Sites for Teaching and Learning.

Please participate in one of the first large-scale studies of the educational use of social Network sites. This URL https://tt1.opinio.net/s?s=9393 links to a survey that is an important part of a dissertation research project being conducted by Marvin LeNoue, doctoral candidate in the North Dakota State University College of Human Development and Education. This project has been approved by the NDSU Institutional Review Board, and is being conducted under the advisement of Dr. Ronald Stammen, Principal Investigator and NDSU Professor Emeritus.

This anonymous, web-wide survey is intended to provide insight into a paradigm shift that is occurring in the realm of digitally-mediated education delivery as more and more educators deploy social media tools in support of online, blended, and face-to-face instructional approaches. Your input will be a valuable addition to the project, and may help shape future development of course-management tools that will hopefully replicate many of the functions offered by private commercial sites like Ning.

Please take advantage of this opportunity to express your viewpoint on this important and influential trend in educational technology use. Click https://tt1.opinio.net:443/s?s=9393 or copy and past into a browser navigation bar to complete the survey.

If you would like more information, or have any questions or comments, please contact me at m.lenoue@ndsu.edu.

Thank you,   Marvin LeNoue
