Abstract
Activity streams — lists of recent activities typically displayed in applications — are real-time, live feeds of content into a single interface. Though activity streams arose out of social media, they are being applied in business, at times embedded in enterprise social software or pulled out as a separate collaboration application.
This bulletin is one of a series of papers from ECAR working groups designed to help institutional leaders learn about and understand the implications of emerging technologies in higher education. These technologies have been identified as the “Top 10 Confusing Technologies” in the ECAR report Higher Education’s Top 10 Strategic Technologies for 2015. Other papers and related resources are available at the research hub for Higher Education’s Top 10 Strategic Technologies for 2015.
