An interesting article in Campus Technology discusses how Columbia College in Chicago is using social software to help develop a sense of campus community among their mostly commuter student body.

How relevant might this be for efforts of large R1 institutions that are increasingly looking to distance learning as new markets?

Another good article from Campus Technology outling in the various issues, and affordances, of podcasting and iPods on campus.

I apologize for starting  a new topic, but I have a burning question.

Does anyone have any experience or references to help support the following hypothesis: social  software can increase and sustain social integration among individuals with learning disabilites through the use of social-software. 

I am actually preparing a paper which is investigating how functionally illiterate adults can be more "inclusive" in society through the use of social-software. 

Any thoughts or questions?
