Here are some thoughts about tweaking the instructional design: Game Length and Instructional Context. All of the instruction is aligned to a network frame. . In comparison, this was a shorter time amount of time, different instructional styles across faculty, and the overall frame was social innovation.

And, of course, if we are training less technically saavy users (like me) to use some tools that are not very intuitive, we need good how-to instructions. Or do we need to wait until the tools improve their interfaces? Groups Now the 63 responses to this post which provide even more tips and responses really adds to the original post.

The point, in the context of this conversation, is that a minority of social media users are creators—people who write blog posts, upload photos onto Flickr, or share homemade videos on YouTube. You are handed a pre-mixed color and a brush and a set of instructions. You see the overall value of the project.
