New Special Issue of Information and Learning Sciences: "Learning with Social Media in an Algorithmic Age: Opportunities and Challenges for Education"
The journal special issue puts a spotlight on commercial social media's increasing presence in both formal and informal education and its role in "incidental and purposeful learning." The co-editors and authors explore how social media algorithms — the systems driving what content and ads appear when visitors use the app — can expand, disrupt, and constrain how people learn.
