Social Media & Learning

This minitrack calls for papers that address leading edge use of
technology, research methods and system design to analyze and support
learning in social networks. The ability to generate and maintain rich
networked connections through social media, social networking,
crowdsourcing, cloud technology, and social computing has a profound impact
on the way we solve problems, learn, innovate and develop our identities,
and the value this creates for individuals and groups. This minitrack will
bring together state of the art research that furthers social theories of
networking and learning, such as networked learning, collaborative
learning, viral learning, and social capital, in combination with for
example social and learning analytics and social network analysis to help
visualize, develop and facilitate formal, non-formal and informal
networking and learning settings.

We call for papers that use, analyze and/or develop technology and online
tools to examine social networking and learning phenomena through social
media. We specifically welcome papers that address new and exciting areas
of research in the networking and learning potential of social media or the
potential value social media creates for connectivity, development, and
growth. Some of this work might be driven by social media and networking
research in relation to education, organizations, gaming, simulation and 3d
worlds. We encourage papers that address learning and value creation
through social media in any setting: education, work, daily life, home, and
‘serious leisure’. Appropriate social media and learning behavior ranges
from same-time, same-place to anytime, anywhere that increases interactions
among participants via social media in formal and informal learning
settings and mixtures thereof, and may include collectives from learning
crowds to communities, teams and networks of practice.

We envision that papers will:
-examine the foundations for social media and learning in online networks,
crowds and communities;
-analyze and/or support the role of social media and networks in learning;
-address value creation in social media and online communities and networks;
-develop methods for analyzing social media and learning;
-implement social network analysis to reflect social media, networking and
learning processes;
-address awareness and visualization of social networks and communities;
-develop metrics for characterizing and following social networking and
learning trends;
-implement and develop tools for automated data capture and data analytics
on social networking and learning;
-discuss empirical trends in social networking and learning on and through
the Internet, including issues and opportunities relating to information
literacy, literacy and new media, ubiquitous learning, viral learning and
entrepreneurial learning;
-examine economic models, trends and markets for social media and learning,
including open source and open access and viral models;
-examine the design and facilitation of social media and learning in online
networks, crowds and communities;
-show development and use of new social media tools, devices (laptops,
mobiles, OLPC ), and spaces and their networking and value creation
potential; or
-discuss ethical issues relating to learning online, including issues
relating to data capture, analysis and display, and learning about
controversial subjects or anti-social activities.

This minitrack – SOCIAL MEDIA & LEARNING -- is part of the DIGITAL & SOCIAL
MEDIA track at HICSS.

ABOUT HICSS CONFERENCES
http://www.hicss.hawaii.edu/hicss_47/apahome47.htm

HICSS conferences are devoted to the most relevant advances in the
information, computer, and system sciences, and encompass developments in
both theory and practice. Accepted papers may be theoretical, conceptual,
tutorial or descriptive in nature. Those selected for presentation will be
included in the Conference Proceedings published by the IEEE Computer
Society and maintained in the IEEE Digital Library.

How to Submit a Paper:  Follow Author Instructions posted on the conference

the appropriate Minitrack, submit an abstract to the Track Chair(s) for
determination, and/or seek informal opinion(s) of Minitrack Chair(s) before
submitting.
