Here''s a few ideas for you to consider: 1) Lecturers can make sure they maintain dialogue with their students through participation in social media sites. Then I wade in, give my advice or opinion and join in with the conversation. 2) One popular social media site - Twitter - is a different proposition entirely. But be careful.

Teachers who recognise this and see the potential of social media to promote active learning are in for an exciting time. Potentially, this is a pedagogical gold mine for teachers if they choose to dig a little deeper.
