NDLI: Yammer in the Classroom

Content Provider	ACM Digital Library
Author	Raish, Victoria
Abstract	Having a debate is a very effective way of engaging students with the class material that requires higher-level thinking skills such as creation, synthesis, reformulation, and communication of original ideas. The traditional face-to-face debate is difficult to transition to a completely asynchronous virtual learning environment. Using a social media platform in a Learning, Design, and Technology course at Penn State University allowed virtual students to engage emotively with the material in the same manner as their residential peers. Yammer proved to be a very valuable tool for conducting this debate and enhancing the learning experience of virtual students, especially those who are in asynchronous classes.
