Being a student

Being a student in either Communication Science or Social Sciences at the UvA means that you are bound to come across one of the following tasks within your courses. Either you'll be expected to contribute to a blog, to update your knowledge about a certain subject onto a wiki or at least mingle in a discussion online. Maybe you'll be in a community-site. These are all things being done already.

As soon as a student finishes a task, he will log out from the wiki/blog/forum and log on to his Facebook and start being social.

My guess is that there are two identities of a student. There's a student on duty and a student off duty. Once a student's off duty, courses that use social media sites aren't being read or contributed to.

So... should HEI's (Higher Education Insitutions) go and try to infiltrate in the off-duty-student-life? Will they even be able to succeed? Should students be on-duty 24/7?
