The great number of resources existing in academic social networks, and the researchers interacting throughout them, looks to be an unquestionable factor supporting the organization and execution of learning activities. Do you agree? Do you have any particular experience in applying those resources in Education?
Academic social networks such as ResearchGate (RG) and Academia.edu can be valuable resources for implementing under and postgraduate learning activities. These platforms provide access to a vast amount of research papers, scholarly articles, and other academic resources that can supplement traditional coursework and reading materials. Students can use these platforms to explore topics in greater depth, find additional sources for their research papers or projects, and connect with other scholars and experts in their field.
It is important to note that academic social networks should be used as a supplement to traditional learning resources, rather than a replacement. While these platforms can provide valuable resources and connections, they do not offer the same level of structure and guidance that is typically provided in a classroom or through traditional coursework. As such, students and faculty members should use these platforms in conjunction with other learning resources to ensure that they are getting a well-rounded education. Additionally, it is important to use caution when using these platforms, as not all of the content posted on them is peer-reviewed or reliable.
Ajit Singh I agree, but additionally, don't you think, they are good "places" for finding and contacting relevant researchers, usually the author of those resources, located in the given network?
@Rey : 100% agree with you that they are good "places" for finding and contacting relevant researchers, usually the author of those resources, located in the given network.
