Remember that thousands of students everywhere are studying the same thing right now -- study networks don't have to be limited to students from just one school.
Continue the conversation: Starting a collaborative study network to tap into the group mind can save everyone time and effort.
For missed classes or lectures, have someone stream or record the lecture on Periscope, Skype, or SnapChat.
Use Google Hangouts to facilitate group study sessions.
Follow or become a fan of the authors who wrote the books that are being used in your class.
Ask questions to experts and influencers. Many are already on Twitter, and Jelly is specifically designed to build connections through question/answer exchanges between users.
Organize learning resources: Social media tools can help keep course information organized and accessible.
Save, curate, and share resources using collection-building tools such as Pinterest or Tumblr.
If course documents aren't already posted online, use Google Drive, Box, or Dropbox to gather study materials.
Have classes use content services like Google Docs for team projects; it can make keeping organized and sharing notes much easier.
Supplement course materials: Social media can help identify additional content to reinforce or extend core instruction.
Look for YouTube videos and playlists for extra learning on the most challenging topics.
Follow existing subject-area hashtags
Send video notes, questions, or reminders to your classmates.
Search on all your social channels often for course topics, keywords, and expert names -- you never know what you'll find!
Social media no longer has to be an obstacle to studying; it can help students create and manage a study community, make the best use of study time, and find new resources to help them learn and retain knowledge.
