“…This tool has been used frequently in SNSs based learning [49][59] because it can be used by teachers for uploading slides that will be explained in the classroom, allowing the teacher to explain the contents using the comments associated with every image and allowing students to ask questions using the same comments. For this trial, this tool was added so that it could be used for developing the script of the video if the members of the workgroup decided to produce a storyboard.…”

STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Math) education is currently receiving much attention from governments and educational institutions. Our work is based on active learning and video-based learning approaches to support STEM education. Here we aimed to increase student's engagement through reflective processes that embrace video filmmaking, and subsequent on-line discussion and evaluation of those videos. We propose a group engagement score that takes into account both individual activity and similarity of participation, thus allowing corrective actions to be taken when unengaged students or groups are identified. We tested these ideas using our own social learning platform that combines the principal features of Social Networks with tools that facilitate collaborative learning design. This platform stimulates students' learning by means of two main reflective processes: participatory production and peer-review. We evaluated this platform and the learning approach it supports in an Object Oriented Programming course and identified interesting differences between group engagement and video ratings. Our principal conclusion is that greater teacher and student awareness of the ongoing activities and group engagement are needed.

“…Shiu et al study the use of social networking online tools, Facebook, to deliver learning and find that it motivated students to share and discuss for peer-to-peer learning. Students are encouraged to learn together in different ways in the blended learning environment [68]. Lee et al adopt social networking online tools, Second Life, into their blended learning course and they find such virtual environment encouraged collaborative learning.…”
