How must we approach our pedagogies differently in the face of the increasing precarity of both faculty members and students?
Ana Cristina Pratas's insight:
"As Sara Goldrick-Rab and Jesse wrote, “This is not a theoretical exercise — it is a practical one.” Our pedagogical approaches need to be directly influenced by what we know of our students, and also by what we don’t yet know. We need to stop writing inflexible policies for hypothetical students. In fact, we should carefully read everything we communicate to students in advance of a course to be sure we aren’t making assumptions about who they are before meeting them. We must start by asking who education is for, and if the answer is “students,” then how do we listen for their voices and let that influence our approach. For example, Jesse often does an exercise with teachers, in which we close-read our syllabi, particularly the first words. How does an acknowledgment of the struggles students face change our policies? Is there an implicit “because I said so” built into our policies? How does this center the experience of the teacher when we should be working to center the experiences of students, particularly our most marginalized students."

ABSTRACT:
The purpose of this article is to discuss the following question: What is the potential of social networking within cooperative online education? Social networking does not necessarily involve communication, dialogue, or collaboration. Instead, the authors argue that transparency is a unique feature of social networking services. Transparency gives students insight into each other’s actions. Cooperative learning seeks to develop virtual learning environments that allow students to have optimal individual freedom within online learning communities. This article demonstrates how cooperative learning can be supported by transparency. To illustrate this with current examples, the article presents NKI Distance Education’s surveys and experiences with cooperative learning. The article discusses by which means social networking and transparency may be utilized within cooperative online education. In conclusion, the article argues that the pedagogical potential of social networking lies within transparency and the ability to create awareness among students. |

The special issue “A Synthesis of Systematic Review Research on Emerging Learning Environments and Technologies” edited by Drs. Florence Martin, Vanessa Dennen, and Curtis Bonk has assembled a noteworthy collection of systematic review articles, each focusing on a different aspect of emerging learning technologies. In this conclusion, we focus on these evidence-based reviews and their practical implications for practitioners as well as future researchers. While recognizing the merits of these reviews, we conclude our analysis by encouraging readers to consider conducting educational design research to address serious problems related to teaching, learning, and performance, collaborating more closely with teachers, administrators, and other practitioners in tackling these problems, and always striving to make a difference in the lives of learners around the world.
