Facebook as a virtual place to share learning between groups of students from different universities

This paper is based on the experience developed by teachers from the universities of Malaga, Almeria and Valladolid (Soria Headquarters) that relates to our students through a closed Facebook group. The experience comes from an Educational Innovation Project called 'Bioeducamos' for 3 years. It basically consists in sharing students' school stories as a resource of the training process in the different subjects in which we are involved. Given the difficulty of getting face meetings between students of different universities, we propose to use the possibilities that Facebook offers us as a dynamic tool for the chanelling of comunication under the particular experiences and the emerging thoughts, tasks, news, etc. the students could be interested of. Thus, we achieved a broad and diverse thoughtful community with different cultural trajectories which enriches significantly the work of each group. The stories (after consent), were uploaded to a google drive platform for a starting point for the experience. In addition, out of the general agreements of the activity private communications entries happened according to the interest aroused from the different and particular stories of each student. In this paper we rescue this experience taking into account the content of the shared inputs likewise the vision of students and teachers involved. We are going to gather information from students about their participation and the interest generated in this activity, and the impact on their learning and participation in the different subjects. We also propose a common reflection about the teaching lines open to us after the use of this tool. These are related to pedagogical affairs such as the possibilities of an expanded learning or about how a virtual extension of a learning community is formed?
