Notes from Moodlemoot 2013
Pilot project with a single course
They created a closed facebook group and added all the students to it.
The teacher creates a separate facebook account to manage the group with.
The teacher would post course updates to the facebook group so that students could get notifications.
Some issues:
Some students not comfortable with friending their teacher
Facebook changes all the time, sometime tools would disappear
The moodle server still holds all content, the facebook group just links into it.
The primary draw for it for students was being able to get notifications on their phone when new content was posted. Will this be a non-issue when the new moodle app is released?
There is a site called academicconnect.net which is a social network for educators and students.
