How?SC tools are an easy way for educators to generate
content and make learning materials available to students
Blog Podcasts – audio, video Live chat, group chat Whiteboard sharing Group discussions
3
Generation and supply of learning material
Blogs, e.g., used to stay up to date for news and feedback, experiences regarding studies to other students, as well as for supplying learning materials and links to further resources; give insight to students on shared information.
Podcasts are most frequently used to provide students with lecture recordings and additional audio material.
Podcasts are attractive to learners because they allow learning at one's own pace, listening to the audio or video content as many times as necessary, even using commuting time to learn
4
Social tagging assign tags to each resource resulting in a user directed
method of classifying the information. It will allows users to organize and share their
information and online resources on the portal. It will enables the content management for the online
community as well as for individual person.
5
Social navigation and bookmark You will be able to navigate, interact with others and
see the traces of information online. You can find and share links, bookmark your resources
online and share it with others the references. This will be done using words that are already tagged to help classify information easily and make search easy.
6
Social networking The best platform for all students to access a single
platform to share , collaborate and get information regarding reports, presentations, case studies, articles that they want to discuss and present.
E-learning is everything but now it is in an interactive way. Group discussions, chats, forums will help in social networking between students

How to encourage students to contribute ?
It’s taking us away from the “Social Aspect”
Its difficult to keep new students encouraged to share !
Make mandatory for students to upload there presentations and reports on ICN, otherwise they won’t be graded (enforcement by teachers)
At least for 2 semesters after launch of ICN
MOTIVATE THEM !! But how? According to survey results
students are willing to contribute. But they are lethargic, very few will take pains of uploading there material on ICN
How we can deal it with ?
OR
36
Strengths Specific to needs of students
Simple to use
Attractive layout and design
Provide benefits like: Students can find reference material for their assignments
People from industry can use it
Helpful to non- IBA students also
SWOT Analysis
37
Weaknesses Its success highly relies on the interest of students in sharing material
on it
It will be managed by student body which will change every year, there objectives and ideas can be different from previous management.
Inappropriate / irrelevant material if uploaded by some one can cause harm too the goodwill of IBA and ICN
