“…Academic social networking is defined as a private educational community network that allows members to collaborate, communicate, and exchange educational information, ideas, and views where members cannot otherwise meet face-to-face (Glezou, et al, 2010). Research regarding general social networking in the context of education was utilized to build a theoretical framework due to the gap in the literature on academic social networking.…”

Online universities utilize academic social networks to build connections among students, faculty, and alumni through affinity groups. This study explored how students interact in academic social networks, who they collaborate with, why they use academic social networks, and how this influences their educational experience. This qualitative, interpretive, phenomenological study explored the lived experiences of six online higher education students reporting active participation in an academic social network. Three core themes emerged from data analysis: (a) acceptance and belonging; (b) self-validation; and (c) drawing from multiple perspectives describing how academic social networking communities are formed, why students are using them, and what this means to online higher education. The essence of academic social networking as it relates to self-actualization is discussed, with insights for educational leaders regarding the use of academic social networking and affinity groups in online higher education.

“…Για το λόγο αυτό είναι μάλλον ελάχιστα τα παραδείγματα των επιτυχημένων κοινοτήτων πρακτικής στην εκπαιδευτική πραγματικότητα και ιδιαίτερα στη χώρα μας π.χ. : (Glezou, Grigoriadou, and Samarakou, 2010;Hlapanis & Dimitracopoulou, 2007). Προκειμένου να μελετηθεί η πρόκληση της ανάπτυξης της κοινότητας αξιοποιήθηκε μια μάλλον πλεονεκτική πραγματική κατάσταση, όπου στο πλαίσιο ενός δικτύου ομάδες μαθητών με συντονιστές εκπαιδευτικούς ασχολούνται με την φυσική/βιολογική καλλιέργεια σε σχολικούς κήπους i .…”

Modern internet technology enables phenomenal applications which reform the concept of distance learning. New pedagogical models, such as online communities of practice (OCoP), emerge with corresponding instructional/learning strategies and technological environments. Despite the easy deployment of software services for OCoP they often turn out to be hard to develop and survive. The paper concerns the case study of the Greek School Gardeners' Community. The learning design and the operation management of this OCoP are based on the combination of the pedagogical design framework of Dabbagh (2005) with the integrated Life Cycle Model (LCM) for online communities' facilitation of Irribery & Leroy (2009). The study of the combination of the theoretically founded learning design framework and the online communities Life Cycle Model as an operations management model constitutes the interest and the main contribution of this work. In the paper, the practical application of the proposed theoretical framework, for the specific case of the school gardeners' OCoP is presented, from the conception stage to the current crucial stage of its development. Finally the main findings so far and the future actions are discussed. The study interest researchers/teachers and OCoP developers and facilitators in general.

“…There is an insufficient application of cyber control mechanisms [40,68] and a lack of cognisance of methods, techniques and tools for social networks control. This may be attributed to powerless educational policies and authorities [38,43,69] an inadequacy of training in higher education [61]; and a misunderstanding of the underlying basic economics principles and their application in education [17]. Moreover, this may be ascribed to a lack of understanding economy and digital economy [71,83] as a basis for any human endeavour in society.…”

Educationists are urged to investigate the effect of social networks control. There is a lack of multidisciplinary studies with a focus on coercive social network control in the higher education sector. This exploratory and descriptive study presents a theoretical contemplation of social network control based on ten key elements that influence teaching and learning in higher educational environments. The paper provides a critical analysis of the impact of an economic model on social networks control and examines social engineering through the tenets of digital presence, psychological strategies and tactics. Insights into user-generated content and the learning process of manipulative assimilation that influence current ways of thinking in higher educational contexts are offered through the lens of social networks control mechanisms. A framework for social network control was derived, signifying the flow and dynamics between key elements which might impact on various aspects of social network security and its applications in Higher Education.
