Is using Facebook as a "study group" any different from studying in a library?
A student at Ryerson University faces expulsion for being an administrator to a Facebook group.
See this link: [1st link has video] http://www.citynews.ca/news/news_20349.aspx http://www.cbc.ca/canada/toronto/story/2...study.html Uhh, I don't think anyone ratted, they keep up on monitoring that type of stuff... They could have called it "I love ponies" under bogus accounts... That's what I would have done. Ads |

Uhoh. Should I stop using facebook?
Yeah well I"ll make any groups private so nothing could happen. I mean I actually do use them to chat and help friends with stuff... [let me watch the clips] >>That's BS. If I were him, I would've made a separate facebook account for the group, to make him a little more untraceable. >>And whoever ratted is a loser. Way to take a good thing and just ruin it for everyone. Ads |

The only differences I see, which are inconsequential, are you wouldn't have the same group available at the library than the one online. I think the school is too worried people may learn knowledge from someone outside of their institution, or letting their core of knowledge escape to perhaps a foreign country. I think the world of politics, in general, has become corrupt.
I hope the guy wins. |

that is crap that they would punish a student for this. The whole idea of Facebook and Myspace are about social networking. I bet the administration would have no problem if the students got together with a large group of students from other colleges from all over, as long as it were in the "real" world. Such garbage.
