Im Rahmen des EU-geförderten Projekts SoMeCat untersuchten Christian Rapp und Anna Sitnikova mit Kolleginnen und Kollegen die Nutzung sozialer Medien an der Hochschule, um deren Potential für Lehre, Lernen und Forschung zu erschliessen. Beteiligt waren weiterhin Kolleginnen und Kollegen der staatlichen Universität Perm (Lehrstuhl für Politikwissenschaft), der Universität Ankara (Lehrstuhl für Informatik und das Distance Education Center) sowie das nexus Institut für Kooperationsmanagement und interdisziplinäre Forschung Berlin. Die Untersuchung ergab u.a., dass viele Dozierende sowohl Nutzen als auch Potential in der Verwendung von Social Media für Lehre und Lernen sehen, aber unsicher seien, wie sie dies in ihrer eigenen Lehrsituation realisieren könnten. Aus diesem Grund entwickelten die Projektpartner gemeinsam ein webbasiertes Social-Media-Toolkit, dass eine bestehende Lehrsituation analysieren kann, in der Social Media eingesetzt werden soll, eine Empfehlung für die am besten passende Technologie ausspricht und didaktische Hinweise gibt, unterstützt durch Beispiele, wie man die ausgesprochene Empfehlung in der Lehrsituation nutzen kann.

The following analysis was done as a part of an EU-funded research project SOMECAT. A literature analysis for German publications in Switzerland and Germany in the field of Social Media and Diaspora shows that there is few research focusing explicitly on social media. The following article summarizes the state-of-the-art German language literature on Internet-media and migration studies approximately over the last decade. This research area has been taken into account mostly as part of the broad (mass) media landscape. We start with introducing the current situation in the area of Internet and migration studies and then present research directions in the general field of migration and media studies. In our analysis we took into account German and Swiss studies. The overview distinguishes the research questions addressed in the literature, the theoretical framework and some selected empirical studies.

Gulbahar, Yasemin/0000-0002-1726-3224; Kilis, Selcan/0000-0001-5751-2363 ; WOS: 000396369300003 ; While ubiquitous in everyday use, in reality, social media usage within higher education teaching has expanded quite slowly. Analysis of social media usage of students and instructors for teaching, learning, and research purposes across four countries (Russia, Turkey, Germany, and Switzerland) showed that many higher education instructors actively use social media for private purposes. However, although they understand that their students also use it for learning purposes, and instructors sense the potential of social media in teaching, they mostly refrain from doing so due to various barriers. In response, an openly accessible trilingual Social Media Toolkit was developed which analyzes the teaching scenario with several questions, before suggesting, based on an algorithm, the best matching class of social media, complete with advice on how to use it for teaching purposes. This paper explains the rationale behind the toolkit, its development process, and examines instructors' perceptions towards it. ; European Union FP7 Era.Net RUS [135]; TUBITAK (Turkish Government Scientific Research Organization) [112K362] ; This work was supported by the European Union FP7 Era.Net RUS under Grant #135; TUBITAK (Turkish Government Scientific Research Organization) under Grant 112K362.
