Using social media tools
Try out a new social media tool
Whilst you may be very familiar with some social media tools, how about trying out something new?Facebook Groups and Google + communities
These are great if you want to share images and other media with smaller numbers of fellow learners or for forming groups with other people about a very specific subject.You could start a Facebook group, or join one that someone else has started. Details of Facebook groups can be shared in the comments on the discussion pages within the course. Facebook also supports the course hashtags. Find out more about how to create a Facebook group. Google + allows you to use a nickname if you’d prefer to keep your real name private. Find out more about how to create a Google+ community.Enterprise social networks
