Students’ engagement has been a hot topic since the origin of teaching and learning; and is developing rapidly with time and technology. With the recent advances in Information and Communication Technology (e.g, Internet of Things, Artificial Intelligence and 5G), it is a need of the hour to revive its smart use in academia. In underdeveloped countries, parents are offended by financial burdens and educating children is not a priority, resulting students are not effectively engaged in learning. Smartphones are mostly used for fun and entertainment, why not for teaching, learning and monitoring to reshape pedagogy. This study investigated the role of social media in learners’ engagement (l = 734) by making a productive relationship among the parents (p = 400), teachers (t = 21) and Principal in underdeveloped countries’ schools. The results of the study are promising. The statistics for 2018-2019 (i.e, without social media), shows only 3% to 4 % parental participation in meetings and scarce teachers interest in schooling, resulting in the learner disengagement. However, the statistics from 2019-2020 (i.e, use of social media), shows improvements in the parental engagement up to 20% and teachers engagement up to 70%, resulting in a productive learners engagement. It is worth mentioning here that the school (located in the village), learner average attendance increased to 95% (dropped the truancy to almost zero), which got higher authorities admiration.

“…One of the places where social interaction is most intense today is undoubtedly social media platforms. It is argued that using social media components in MOOCs settings has a [190] complementary effect and increases engagement (Zankadi et al, 2018). Floratos et al (2016) argued that the most critical interaction in MOOCs settings is between the student and the platform.…”

Günümüzde artan nüfus, hayat boyu eğitime verilen önemin artması, sürekli eğitim ihtiyacı gibi faktörler eğitim ortamlarının değişime uğramasına yol açmıştır. Özellikle zaman ve mekan konusunda sınırlılıkları olan eğitim isteklileri için kitlesel açık çevrimiçi dersler ve uzaktan eğitim ortamları büyük kolaylık sağlamaktadır. Ancak literatürde kitlesel açık çevrimiçi ortamlarda sıklıkla kursu tamamlayamama ve katılımın azalması gibi olumsuz durumlar belirtilmiştir. Buradan yola çıkarak Web of Science veri tabanında yer alan kitlesel açık çevrimiçi dersler ve öğrenci katılımı başlıklarını içeren 60 adet makale betimsel tarama yöntemi kullanılarak incelenmiştir. Bulgular başlığı altında çalışmaların yıllara göre, türlerine göre, yayınlandıkları alana göre, web of science indexlerine göre dağılımları ve çalışmalarda kullanılan anahtar sözcüklere yer verilmiştir. Kitlesel Açık Çevrimiçi Ortamlarda öğrenci katılımını doğrudan etkileyen faktörler, katılımı sağlayabilecek ve devam ettirebilecek çözüm önerileri ve katılımı düşüren yönde sıklıkla bahsedilen engeller sunularak çözüm önerileri tartışılmıştır.

“…In another work [10], we investigated the main challenges of both MOOCs and social media, in particular, Facebook, using SWOT analysis. We found out that MOOCs' strengths lie on their open access to course materials with free fees and this encourages a wide range of learners to enroll them.…”

Learners are more active and interactive interactive in social media as they freely express themselves and share their thoughts and feeling which generates much useful information about their characteristics. However, the same learners are not usually interactive in MOOCs as much as they do in social media. Therefore, focusing on the Learner’s social profile is a key component towards a successful and enriched experience of learning. Especially that MOOCs offer the possibility to sign up using social media accounts. Thereby, profile modelling is an essential step to capture the knowledge about the learners. In this paper, we aim to explore the information generated by the learner’s participation in social media and combine it with his characteristics in MOOCs. Our approach is based on implementing an ontological learner profile that combines other ontologies (IMS-LIP standard, FOAF, and SIOC ontology) as well as some of the major concepts that describe a user in social media. The result of our solution is a social profile ontology (SPOnt) that describes the main concepts of a learner in each environment (MOOCs and social media). We rely on ontology mapping and merging techniques to maintain the semantic links between the different concepts of the two implemented ontologies.
