New social network aimed at improving education

IT company IBM and Brockenhurst College in the UK have created a private social network to help give staff a better understanding of their students and tailor lessons to them.

Students can use the system to find out more information about their course, watch videos and chat with others at a sister college in China.

The network can also monitor social media - with consent - to see if students might be underperforming or struggling.

BBC Click's Spencer Kelly finds out more.
