Survey: Opinions of Facebook as College Teaching Tool

November 5, 2008 · Filed Under Links · Comment 

I heard from Stuart Mader of a survey that Caroline Lego Munoz, Assistant Professor of Marketing in the Silberman College of Business at Fairleigh Dickinson University, is conducting on college instructors’ opinions of Facebook as a teaching tool. If you’re a college-level instructor, or know one, I’m sure she’d appreciate if you took a few minutes to complete her survey. Here’s her message:

A colleague and I are conducting an online survey in order to understand college instructors’ (faculty, graduate teaching assistants, lecturers, and adjuncts) behavior and opinions about Facebook being used as an instructional or course tool for courses. This survey will take participants approximately 10-20 minutes. For completing this survey, participants will be entered in a drawing to win one of two $100 gift cards to Amazon.com.

I heard from Stuart Mader of a research study that Rex Chen, a Ph.D. student at UC Irvine, is conducting on the use of social networks in K-12 education. If you’re a K-12 teacher, or know one, I’m sure he’d appreciate if you took a few minutes to complete his survey. Here’s his message:

Dear Educators,

We are two Ph.D student researchers in computer science (University of
California, Irvine) and education (University of Southern California)
doing a research work that studies how technology, in particular Online
Social Networks, can benefit learning and education for young people in
the age group K-12.

As part of this research, we would like to reach out to the educator
community and hear your thoughts. We have formulated a short
questionnaire that assess Online Social Networks. We hope you can fill
out this survey, which takes less than 5 minutes.
