Abstract

Social computing is a term that encompasses all technologies that allow people, to communicate, emote online, make private thoughts public, interact, comment, critique, react, share, construct, and any number of other verbs. Society has taken their dramas and life stories online. This paper investigates how these forms of social computing might be used in instruction to facilitate effective learning and what designers, developers, and instructors should consider before casting them in this theater of technology and learning.
