Social networking sites have experienced tremendous growth and have become an integral part of the daily lives of a large portion of the population, both in the United States, as well as worldwide. Whereas a vast majority of university students log in to Facebook every day, both research and implementation of Facebook as a learning tool in higher education is lacking. This study investigates the question, "How can Facebook be used to enhance educational experiences beyond the traditional classroom?" To facilitate this research a multi-round Dephi study was conducted among students from a southwestern university in the United States with the purpose of generating and ranking ideas regarding the use of Facebook at the university level. Results are reported and discussion and conclusions are presented.
