Is Twitter Hurting Student Grades? [INFOGRAPHIC]
Recently we speculated about whether too much tweeting could ruin your career. And prior to this we looked at a study which analysed whether Twitter was of benefit to students in the classroom.
Now, a detailed infographic has emerged that has crunched the data from these sources and presented the information in a new and interesting manner.
125 students were included in the study – 70 were required to use Twitter for educational purposes, while 55 communicated through a traditional learning system.
The results suggested that:
- 94% of first year college students use social networking sites
- The group using Twitter had an engagement score of almost twice as much as those who used traditional communication methods
- At the end of the semester the Twitter group’s average GPA was 0.51
