Call for articles for the monographic issue on the impact of social networks on teaching and learning

Social media and emerging technologies have transformed how news is captured and shared, how politicians connect with the populace, and how businesses interact with customers. Is education the next discipline to be impacted? This special issue of RUSC will analyse the growing influence of social learning in higher education, including design, teaching and learning, scholarship and research, as well as next-generation technologies that are blending physical and virtual spaces.

Deadline: 31 June 2010
