Student’s Observations - Video
@ACBSPAccredited #ACBSP2016
Advantages:
✈ We like it because you don’t have to read.✈ YouTube and videos are good for ‘How To’ . . . To learn something✈ Learn ideas in a creative way – good for innovation- demonstrations✈ Doing (making) videos help us learn how much work is done behind the scenes.
Disadvantages:
✈ 5 minute limit → no way am I watching a 10 minute video (forget about watching a hour long lecture). Must be short
✈ Built in ads are annoying.
Collaboration
@ACBSPAccredited #ACBSP2016
Web-based software sites allowing users to create and edit documents
online while collaborating with other users in real-time.
On-Line Collaboration
Google Docs -- Quiz
Student Observations - Collaboration
Responses
✈ Good for teams (group work)
✈ It’s a group thing
✈ We should teach in BUS1270
✈ Facetime is good for collaboration also.
✈ Hangout works for people without an iPhone
Negative
✈ Formatting is different
✈ Students never used office 2003 or anyone of the non-visual interfaces
✈ They would be horrified by our old green screens and WYSISYG interface
✈ There are glitches and sometimes freezes with multiple people editing the same document
✈ Microsoft 360 has issues at Castleton due to security layer
Blogs
@ACBSPAccredited #ACBSP2016
Information / Discussion site that allow users to
publish on-line and allow their viewers to post
comments.
Blogs
Student’s Observations - Blogs
Responses
✈ Don’t read them
✈ Google or YouTube for information instead of blog
✈ Should have asked about Google results
✈ Would rather we set up a webpage for class, using Wix, than write a blog
✈ Not relevant to us
✈ You have to want to (read a blog to do it)
Micro Blog
@ACBSPAccredited #ACBSP2016
Microblogs are very short posts used to
exchange small elements of content, i.e.
short comments, videos, and images.
Marketing Course
Twitter Feed for a Management Course
Student’s Observations - Twitter
Responses
✈ We like short format that is to the point
✈ We ignore links for the most part
✈ The pictures are the best, visual
✈ More current and up to date, instant
✈ Best chance to have a celebrity interact with you.
✈ We follow #tags for sports, find out what other people think on topic. Like at weddings,
conferences and live events.
✈ We like how easy it is to share
✈ 140 characters is fine, we are used to it.
✈ Not everyone has Twitter
✈ Content has a very short life span
✈ All social media is tied to phone
✈ Mobile is no longer a special category, it is part of life
Social Network Sites (SNS)
@ACBSPAccredited #ACBSP2016
Web based sites designed to build social networks or
social relations among individuals with similar interests,
activities, backgrounds or real-life connections.
Course Page
1) Create a Professional Profile page
2) Creating a course group
3) Upload Content
✈ Platform for homework & revision
resources
✈ Post questions, videos & resources
4) Monitor
Student’s Observations - SNS
Advantages:
✈ See others opinions
✈ “Cleanest social media” because parents are on site (we have moved to Instagram and twitter)
✈ Choice of words, pictures, sentiment
✈ Reserved behavior, very public
✈ To keep in touch with old friends (High School) and Family
✈ Good to use to contact someone – modern phone book.
Disadvantages:
✈ To see what you don’t care about, no choice but to see everyone’s stuff
✈ Parents
✈ People rage behind the blind eye of the keyboard and post radical opinions
✈ Sense of dissatisfaction, like accounting, a necessary evil

Student’s Observations - Instagram
Responses
✈ “Girls post better pictures”
✈ Less drama – pictures are focus and not text
✈ Again, no reading
✈ More personal than others
✈ Visually based, has a “Lifestyle” element that makes if feel more “real”
✈ Simple video, 15 seconds, competing with Vine
✈ # for groups and friends
✈ Different, picture oriented
✈ Quick, simple to use, easy to comment
✈ Naturally mobile
✈ Do not use for classes or follow orgs
Negative
✈ Real time if you post at 2AM, some may not see
✈ Open public but students have a different view of privacy. They do not see as a problem.
