I’m one of those ancients who doesn’t learn new programs easily and quickly. If Facebook has a tutorial for new users, it hasn’t revealed itself to me: is the operating assumption that the program is so simple that intuition and experiment will reveal all of its powers and possibilities? “Courses”: how do I find this program?

All help for the aged and slow will be gratefully appreciated.

There are 3 apps on Facebook called Courses (an obvious flaw in the system). Is one of those the app you refer to?

I’ve been thinking about the potential for Facebook in this field as I have an allergic reaction to Blackboard. That said, I can’t forget that Facebook is a commercial platform which would push advertising into my course pages that I might not feel comfortable with and creates a walled garden; getting my information back out of Facebook could be problematic.

Then there is the issue of identity management. As I get more people as “friends” in Facebook I run into the inevitable problems of needing to discriminate between them. It’s an old issue with online social network sites and one which the students would have. I suspect that my settled opinion will be to think of Facebook as an outreach site, where students can interact with me and the course informally but where there’s no attempt to use Facebook as a formal learning space.
