| Abstract: | The Digital Faculty research project builds upon previous studies about faculty use of technology, faculty social media use and communications, and faculty perceptions of the future of higher education. This report focuses on Faculty Social Media Use and Communications. In this report, findings are presented about most commonly used social media platforms by faculty, personal and professional uses of social media, and patterns of social media use. The authors report on the proportion of faculty with personal websites or blogs and examine variations between faculty subgroups. The authors also share open-ended comments made by faculty members that express their perceptions about social media, and examine faculty communications with students and the role that social media plays in these interactions. Finally, the implications of these findings are discussed and recommendations for future research are made. |
