On May 27, Premier Ford requested advice on whether to re-open Ontario schools now. The Science Advisory table co-signed this response with a wide range of Ontario health system partners; it was delivered to the Premier at 5 p.m. yesterday. #COVID19Ontario https://t.co/Gs76yO2OJr

e-campus virtual learning strategy results announced: https://t.co/UYClNMZZWS! Happy to be working with a great collaborative team (OISE, Queens, OTU) on our digital content submission (designing meaningful sync and async discussion in online courses)! @OiseOnline

We compared discussion posts on an open forum (edX), where learners can read responses of others before replying with posts on a locked forum (Coursera), where learners must respond to prompt before being able to view responses of others. #MOOCs @UMichiganAI

Cool idea about following users @mslaurafacciolo! And the social annotation feature, similar to https://t.co/Q36xN7g3Ln, is another good one! #CTL5015Week7Q3

If there was one social media function you would add to our Pepper forum, what would it be and what value would you expect it to add to the online learning experience?

[Kim MacKinnon @kimmackinnon]

#CTL5015Week7Q2
To what extent do you think social media is potentially more conducive to informal learning rather than formal learning?

[Kim MacKinnon @kimmackinnon]

#CTL5015Week7Q1
Which social media functionality (e.g., Like button, hashtags, re-tweets) do you think could potentially impact cognitive presence (Garrison, 2009) in positive ways within a community of online learners? (Consider some of the tools we've used the past few weeks).
