Just capturing some thoughts
Why might an instructor want social network specific to their academic work?
- To promote expertise and accomplishments publicly to attract opportunities for employment or collaboration...while maintaining control over who can contact them.
- Staying current by tapping into news and events that are important to people she respects... while not getting overloaded with information.
- Be able to contact people at three levels:
- one time interactions
- groups for limited-time projects
- maintain contact when colleagues change organizations
