Blended learning symposium: social media

Abstract

My contribution to the symposium will outline and evaluate my recent pedagogical research into social media applications as educational interfaces. The aims of the project were: (1) to explore the use of social media platforms as alternative educational interfaces to the VLE; (2) to collate useful online resources in my subject area; and (3) to help students to recognise reliable online source materials. In the practical research carried out as part of this project I created online resources using social media platforms such as padlet and pinterest to support reconstruction work. These multimedia memo-boards functioned as digital repositories of significant critical and contextual digital materials on the choreographers and works being studied
