  • Students tell universities: Get out of MySpace!
  • Based on qualitative research - one-to-one interviews with students conducted over two years - Jisc has built up a picture of how students are using IT to manage their social lives. Most are confident and competent IT users, but they are too often unaware of how they could apply their skills to enhance their studies.

  • Online spaces are blurring, as universities that podcast and text their students have shown. The Jisc project manager, Lawrie Phipps, explains how the battle lines are being drawn: "Students really do want to keep their lives separate. They don't want to be always available to their lecturers or bombarded with academic information."

  • "We're seeing a set of new online literacies emerging but we need to understand how students use those literacies," says Phipps. "The challenge for higher education is to learn how to integrate the social networking sites with traditional academic practice and traditional ICT systems."

  Student reactions to universities using social networking tooks like MySpace and Facebook as learning mediums. In general, they don't want the tools used for formal learning; they want to keep some separation between their personal and school lives. However, students also like using the communication tools for more informal purposes, like getting to know their professors or for instant tutoring.
