How does social media affect working life in Higher Education? How are universities harnessing its power to aid student learning? This innovative collection brings together academics and those working in professional services to examine these questions and more. The diverse and expert contributors analyse the many ways social media can be used to enhance teaching and learning, research, professional practice, leadership, networking and career development. The impact of social media is evaluated critically, with an eye both to the benefits and the problems of using these new forms of digital communication. This is the first volume to give such detailed attention to this area of high interest. Its innovative approach extends to its creation, with contributors found via their presence on Twitter. The short and impactful chapters are accessible while retaining an academic focus through their application of relevant learning theories and educational context. Social Media and Higher Education is essential reading for any professional working in higher education, including lecturers teaching education courses. It is also significant for researchers looking at more recent developments in the field and what it means to work in a modern higher education environment.

To address the educational gap, many Latin American countries are focusing on extension of the school day and enrichment of the curriculum. In Brazil, a nationwide policy-Mais Educao-was implemented in 2008 with this objective. This paper explores the nationwide rollout of the program across the country and compares the performance of schools before and after implementation of the program. The paper quantifies the impacts of the program on student learning and dropout rates in urban areas, and investigates the heterogeneity of impacts by several characteristics of the program's implementation. Participating schools are compared with nonparticipating schools after controlling for school selection into the program based on observable characteristics using propensity score matching. The analysis finds that participation in Mais Educao has on average no impacts on school dropout rates and average negative impacts on mathematics test scores. The negative impacts on student achievement are stronger in the short term, which suggests that the negative effects may be reduced as the program improves its implementation. In addition, especially for fifth-grade schools, the level of student spending is associated with reduced dropout rates. Interestingly, in schools choosing the fields of Portuguese and/or sports in the added hours, the program is associated with lower test scores in Portuguese and mathematics. Finally, for the sample of fifth-grade schools, heterogeneous impacts are seen in the program according to the GDP per capita of the city where the school is located. The higher the GDP per capita, the greater the positive impact of the program on mathematics test scores and on dropout rates.

Short-cycle higher education programs last between one and three years and capture approximately 20 percent of the world's higher education enrollment. Although they hold great promise for the skilling, up-skilling, and re-skilling of the workforce in the current world of work, little is known about the contribution they make to students' outcomes, above and beyond student or peer characteristics. This paper estimates the contribution of all short-cycle higher education programs in Colombia. It estimates value-added contributions by program, using unique administrative data on student outcomes and background, as well as program- and institution- level data. For a given outcome, the programs vary greatly in their raw outcomes and in their contribution to student outcomes. Although program-level contributions vary across fields, they vary even more within fields. Regression analysis shows that formal employment and wage contributions are greater for programs that are longer, delivered in a traditional mode, or taught in large cities, selective institutions, or institutions specialized in the field. The paper ends with a word of caution about the use of average program outcomes or contributions to build program rankings, as these vary greatly depending on the metric used.

This study conducted a randomized evaluation of a program in the Brazilian state of Ceara. The program was designed to improve teachers' effectiveness by increasing their professional interaction and sharing of classroom practice. In 175 of 350 secondary schools, teachers were provided with benchmarked feedback from classroom observations and access to expert coaching. Schools' uptake of the coaching program was high (85 percent). Over a single school year, the program increased teachers' time on instruction and student engagement and produced statistically significant gains in student learning on the Ceara state assessment and the national secondary school exit exam. Controlling for individual students' prior-year learning outcomes, schools exposed to the program had 0.05-0.09 standard deviation higher performance on the state test and 0.04-0.06 standard deviation higher scores on the national test. Implementation fidelity strongly boosted program impacts. In the 49 schools where the pedagogical coordinators achieved the highest certification at the end of the program, student scores were 0.13-0.23 standard deviation higher on the state test and 0.13-0.17 standard deviation higher on the national test. Coaching delivered by Skype kept the costs of the program low, USD 2.40 per student, and produced cost-effective impacts on learning in comparison with other rigorously evaluated teacher training interventions. The combination of classroom observation feedback and expert coaching appears to be a promising strategy for whole-school efforts to raise teacher effectiveness.

This paper examines the full-time school program in Rio de Janeiro's municipal schools. The program, called as the "Single-Shift" schools (Turno Unico), extends the time students spend in municipal schools and seeks to improve the quality of education provision by creating a diverse curriculum for the use of the extra time in school. Unlike the model prevalent in most Brazilian public schools, in which the school day is divided in two shifts of four to five hours each, Single-Shift schools provide education in a format in which students attend a seven-hour daily shift. A subset of Single-Shift schools was certified when they included aspects such as having all teaching staff fully dedicated to a single school. Difference-in-differences estimates, including school and time fixed effects, as well as restrictive school-by-time controls, indicate sizable and robust positive results for the certified Single-Shift program in middle schools. The results indicate that just extending the school day does not grant positive impacts on student performance if it is not also coupled with a more comprehensive and careful consideration on how the additional school hours are used and organized, which requires a well-structured and integrated curriculum, teachers fully dedicated to one school, and focused teacher training.

Tout formateur a pour objectif de gagner l'attention des apprenants en donnant du rythme à ses interventions. Pour répondre à cette problématique rencontrée par tous les formateurs, Thierry Beaufort décline ainsi des exercices originaux autour des 5 moments forts de la formation pour conquérir l'auditoire : se présenter avec originalité permettre le développement de chacun sans nuire à la cohésion du groupe relancer l'intérêt d'un auditoire assoupi donner envie d'apprendre favoriser la réflexion et la créativité. Conçu comme un « tout-en-un pédagogique », l'auteur indique pour chaque outil d'animation : le temps de préparation et le matériel nécessaire à la réalisation de l'exercice, ses objectifs, son niveau de difficulté, sa durée et le nombre de participants minimum requis. De plus, l'ouvrage aborde les fondamentaux de la formation (connaissance de soi, communication, relations interpersonnelles...) en les exploitant sous un angle insolite (faire des tours de table originaux, relancer la formation après le déjeuner, libérer l'imagination des apprenants...).
