New Special Issue of Information and Learning Sciences: "Learning with Social Media in an Algorithmic Age: Opportunities and Challenges for Education"

The journal special issue puts a spotlight on commercial social media's increasing presence in both formal and informal education and its role in "incidental and purposeful learning." The co-editors and authors explore how social media algorithms — the systems driving what content and ads appear when visitors use the app — can expand, disrupt, and constrain how people learn.

Journal editor-in-chief and SC&I Professor of Library and Information Science Rebecca Reynolds announces a special issue of Information and Learning Sciences guest edited by Professor Christine Greenhow (Michigan State University), Professor Bret Staubt Willet (Florida State University), and Professor Jeffrey Carpenter (Elon University) titled "Learning with Social Media in an Algorithmic Age: Opportunities and Challenges for Education."
