State of Social Learning 2010
It kind of sucks
![Page 5: Eduglu presentation at TTIX](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081602/555501d5b4c905c35e8b4ac5/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
Hard to SETUP
a) Takes great skill + effort to find/understand/use successfully
b) Tools (twitter, blogger, facebook, flickr, second life, etc not designed
for education
![Page 6: Eduglu presentation at TTIX](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081602/555501d5b4c905c35e8b4ac5/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Logistics Tough
Students HATE having to learn multiple tools for one class
It's a lot of work for teachers to manage
![Page 7: Eduglu presentation at TTIX](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081602/555501d5b4c905c35e8b4ac5/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Often Confusing
Tools aren't designed for
educational use. So teachers/students
have to work around
assumptions of the tool.
![Page 8: Eduglu presentation at TTIX](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081602/555501d5b4c905c35e8b4ac5/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
No Consistency
Across tools, classes, majors.
Each class using social media is one-off experiment.
This can't scale.

Very few people using it

Arguing for centralized social learning platform
