Social media is more and more involved in our daily life. But how will this affect to online education and e learning? The research of one Finnish student, Harri Paalanen, states that there is room for development in this area. See his thesis abstract:
A change can be identified in the business environment. Different enterprises are opening up their processes to others and they are networking together. Also smaller companies have the possibility to reach foreign markets while working in networks.
This thesis concentrates on the latest research on innovation, the conditions that enable the innovation process, how these conditions or environments can be lead and how one can learn in these environments. This thesis is also a project, which deals with the Second Life environment and also aims to combine it with the Moodle elearning platform using Sloodle tools. Main aim of the project was to test whether a Moodle course can be processed into a Second Life course.
A complete Moodle course on innovation management was used as a starting point for this new Second Life –course. The basic structure remained almost the same, but the contents of the course had to be modified. Most of the developer’s time and energy was directed to learning how to use Second Life and programming with Linden Lab Scripting (LSL) language used for different functionalities in the course. Not all of the functionalities were finished during this project. The project continues on even after this thesis. This project showed that the development is possible.

Sharing is one of the main cornerstones of Open Innovation. But what kind of risks does it involve? Are you concerned about copyright issues and legal matters? Student Eeva Korhonen’s thesis will answer most of your concerns. Here is her abstract:
Legal risks relating to Open Innovation System service
The aim of this thesis has been to investigate what legal risks there are pertaining to the Open Innovation Banking System service, and what laws and decrees regulate these matters. I chose the copyright law and the laws regulating social media for the point of departure for the study. The rights and responsibilities of an individual have the leading role when using services provided by social media.
Information created by the author or authors is interesting and certainly encourages also students to produce information. From the viewpoint related with the copyright law, it is interesting how these matters have been interpreted within the law, and how the responsibilities and rights have been distributed. The copyright law as a law is constantly changing, and in Finland, in connection with international relations it is also necessary to take the legislation valid in other countries and the EU directives into consideration.
It was proven in the study that, even though laws and the agreement defining the usage terms and conditions have a great significance when using the Open Innovation Banking System service, an individual’s own human behaviour plays an equally great and significant role, too. How many of us know what is allowed to be published in the Internet and what responsibility do those people have who are involved with the Personal Data Act by virtue of their work.
A new way of learning is important even from the viewpoint of developing studying. I hope the final result provides new kind of innovations for all of us citizens. Conclusions of this new service can be drawn not later than after a few years, after we have become aware of the benefits and disadvantages of the use of the service.
