Abstract
Social media have become an integral part of formal learning settings. To some extent the possibilities of social media for opening (academic) classrooms are already used. Through this opening of learning spaces new incentives for social exchange arise. But what happens when more and more individuals can partake in the social exchange? Are these new exchange partners perceived? And implies «more exchange partners» greater learning success at the same time? To find answers to these questions, a theoretically derived awareness taxonomy was developed, which was tested in a first setting. The results of the study provide evidence that learners in open learning settings perceive the new exchange partners. The other dimensions of the taxonomy, perspective and group awareness, also contribute significantly to the findings. This article outlines the theoretical derivation of an awareness taxonomy, summarizes the key findings and provides impetus for further studies.References
