Higher Education Instructional Design on Social NetworKs

Društvene mreže predstavljaju izazov u nastavnom procesu visokoškolske nastave jer su bliske studentima i neizostavni su dio njihova slobodnog vremena. One mogu uvesti promjene u model nastavnog procesa, preobražavajući učenje u pametne čvorove unutar dinamične i međuovisne mreže učenja. U radu se bavimo oblikovanjem i vrednovanjem oblikovanih nastavnih sadržaja na društvenim mrežama Edmodo i Facebook prema modelu ADDIE koji je prema svojim atributima generički i iteracijski proces unutar definiranih faza. Rezultati upitnika pokazali su visok stupanj slaganja s mogućnošću primjene društvenih mreža u obrazovne svrhe u visokoškolskom obrazovanju. Razlika između Edmoda i Facebooka zamjetna je u isporuci nastavnih sadržaja i u alatima za komunikaciju i suradnju. S tim u vezi, studenti su naveli da im je suradnja i komunikacija na društvenoj mreži Facebook dostupnija zbog programskog alata „chat“ i slanja privatnih poruka. Prednost u procesu učenja, poučavanja i testiranja znanja ima društvena mreža Edmodo zbog mogućnosti dijeljenja sadržaja (biblioteka), ispitivanja znanja pomoću kviza, formiranja grupa s kodovima te mogućnosti pristupa i sudjelovanja roditelja u nastavi.Social networks present a challenge in higher education teaching process as they are close to the students and make an unavoidable part of students’ free time. They can introduce changes in the model of teaching process, transforming teaching in smart nodes within a dynamic and interdependent learning network. In this paper we are concerned with instructional design and evaluation of instructional design on social networks Edmodo and Facebook based on ADDIE model, which, according to its features, is a generic iterative process within the defined phases. Results of the questionnaire showed high agreement with the possibility of the application of social networks for educational purposes in higher education. The difference between Edmodo and Facebook is noticeable in the delivery of instructional content and tools for communication and collaboration. With regard to this, the students stated that collaboration and communication on the Facebook social network is more accessible due to chat and private messaging software tools. The advantage of the process of learning, teaching and testing knowledge is in favor of the Edmodo social network because it provides shareable content (libraries), tests students’ knowledge using quizzes, forms coded groups and enables access and participation of parents during teaching
