Online Social Networking on Campus: Understanding What Matters in Student Culture

Autor Ana M. Martínez-Alemán, Katherine Lynk Wartman
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 24 noi 2008
In the era of such online spaces as Facebook, Instant Messenger, Live Journal, Blogger, Web Shots, and campus blogs, college students are using these resources and other online sites as a social medium. Inevitably, this medium presents students with ethical decisions about social propriety, self disclosure and acceptable behaviour. Because online social networking sites have proven problematic for college students and for college administrators, this book aims to offer professional guidance to Higher Education administrators and policy makers. Online Social Networking on Campus: Understanding what matters in student culture is a professional guide for Higher Education faculty and Student Affairs administrators, which rigorously examines college students’ use of online social networking sites and how they use these to develop relationships both on and off campus. Most importantly, Online Social Networking on Campus investigates how college students use online sites to explore and makes sense of their identities. Providing information taken from interviews, surveys and focus group data, the book presents an ethnographic view of social networking that will help Student Affairs administrators, Information Technology administrators, and faculty better understand and provide guidance to the "neomillennials" on their campuses.

Recenzii

"An enlightening and challenging look at the ways in which students use social networking online to explore their individual and collective identities…Online Social Networking on Campus would be a wonderful text for a graduate seminar on contemporary issues in college student development or student affairs. The book would serve equally well as the centerpiece of a professional development reading group discussion. The authors are to be congratulated on their thoughtful and thought-provoking work, and you are encouraged to get involved in the conversation through picking up a copy of this book soon."--George S. McClellan, Journal of College Student Development, July/August 2009, Vol 50 No 4, 468-469
"This book will be useful for anyone with a specific interest in university students and their use of Facebook, or as an example of how to conduct a study of this nature". - Learning, Media and Technology, 35:1
"This book is one means of becoming more educated about the many ways in which students, and even administrators, can take advantage of Facebook to enhance the college student experience. It also provides a good resource for those who are unfamiliar with Facebook and the culture created online through this somewhat new and developing technology."—Review of Higher Education

Martin Weller: The Open University, UK (Areas of speciality: Ed Technology, e-learning, web 2.0)
"The main appeal is that there isn’t an academic book available that addresses this issue. So there is a gap in the market and it is an area of very rich social interaction and significance."
"the book would be of great interest in the UK. Since doing the review, Facebook has really taken off. I agree with your analysis of what would be of what would be appealing to readers ( Key UK selling points), and I would add also that the technical aspect of how other applications plug in to Facebook would be interesting. Their decision to open up their platform to allow other tools to plug in has been key in the massive growth of FB. Indeed many of us are now discussing whether FB should become the VLE for many institutions, ie we go out to where the students are, rather than them coming to us."
Kristen Renn:Michigan State University (Areas of speciality: Higher Education, College Student Development, Student Identity, peer cultures, race gender and sexuality in higher education)
"There is a great degree of interest in student affairs about this topic – the recent ACPA/NASPA Joint Meeting featured a number of sessions on Facebook and its impact on campus"...I would encourage colleagues teaching courses about educational technology, student affairs administration, and college environments to adopt the book for their courses."
Estela Mara Bensimon: University of Southern California (areas of speciality Administration of HE)
"I AM NOT TEACHING SUCH A COURSE BUT IF I WAS I CERTAINLY WOULD CONSIDER ALEMAN’S PUBLICATIONS, PRIMARILY BECAUSE SHE HAS A STRONGER THEORETICAL ORIENTATION THAN IS TYPICAL OF STUDENT DEVELOPMENT WORK. SHE IS VERY THOUGHTFUL AND CREATIVE".
