Adult Education and the Social Media Revolution

LeNoue and others, in their article Adult Education and Social Media Revolution, refer to the work of Allen and Seaman when they suggest using social networking platforms to ensure the success of interactive learning. “The use of networked devices, local networks, and the Internet is a key facet of DML, and online networked technologies are the delivery systems of choice for distance education offerings (Allen & Seaman, 2006)” In fact, they quite the other author in order to justify their argument. They retell the same story; however their angle of telling this story is slightly different. The authors of this article support their point of using SNPs in order to engage modern students in an advanced way of learning. This kind of application of SNPs would create a hybrid environment of learning through modes of entertainment and online social activities.

At personal experience level, I have used several times the same concept in order to complete my assignments. After receiving a topic at schools, I used to prefer consulting authors who had similar opinion to my brainstorming. I used to refer to their works in my academicals. For example, while creating a paper on history research in my high school, I referred to the original work of Colonial history of America and I tried to prove the point that American society was still in the process of evolution. Thus, by referring to that book, I could easily prove my point that several changes in American society have taken place since the colonial concept has come into existence.
