3. League Publications (League
Books): Getting Connected: A Social
Media Report by Cecilia Rios-Aguilar
and Regina Deil-Amen.
This is a report describing recent research on
social media in the college setting. From the
report:
“Beginning in fall 2011, as part of a Bill &
Melinda Gates Foundation grant funded
intervention, nine urban, small town,
and rural U.S. community colleges
(located in Arkansas, Arizona, California,
New York, Ohio, Texas, Wisconsin, and
Wyoming) were selected to adopt a
Facebook-based application known as
Schools App for limited use by invited
students, staff, faculty, and
administrators. This is the first
longitudinal research study to use realtime data generated by the users of
Schools App to examine how commuter
based community colleges attempt to
use social media technology as a
mechanism to increase students’
connection to and success in college.”
