Annotation:  This analytics case study was created as a group project for EME6356 Learning and Web Analytics.  It was designed as a review of a particular use of social media analytics, and was only a case study review of an example of social media analytics that we located in a current periodical.  We focused on the use of marketing analytics to alter public perception of Super Bowl marketing, identify implications for analytic tool use, and review real-time monitoring and assessment of marketing activities.

6414 Community Observation Paper

Annotation:  This paper was written for EME6414 Web 2.0 Based Learning and Performance.  It presents two online learning communities in an effort to identify their strengths and weaknesses as Web 2.0 tools to facilitate learning and performance.  This was carried out and written as an individual paper.  While the tools located were used throughout the semester as Web 2.0 tools, this paper reflected a few weeks’ worth of use of the online communities. 

Excerpt below- discussion section of paper:

Discussion

Both online communities explored in this paper offer the user a learning community.  They also each use a variety of Web 2.0 tools in the communication of learning; journal articles, expert writing and online publications, instructional videos and webinars are all utilized to some extent at each site.  They are also both very easy to use; the platforms are simple and the interface is straightforward in each case.  Both communities also offer mobile versions so members can keep up with information on the go.  All of these characteristics lend validity to the online community and contribute to sustainability; if members find using the community to be inviting and easy, they are more likely to continue to use it.  No particular weaknesses were uncovered during this observation period.  However, potential weaknesses that could emerge include technical support (is there a purposeful, dedicated support system or is it all volunteer?), inappropriate content (is there a chance of bullying or ‘trolling’ by individuals?), and content accuracy (who vets the postings? Readers still need to be vigilant).  Even given those possible weaknesses, this observation has demonstrated the ability of online social media based communities to promote learning and performance through thoughtful consideration and participation by individuals.
