“…While the literature indicates that international students experience both the aforementioned benefits and challenges associated with social media use in educational and personal capacities, there seems to be a lack of investigation of the intersection between these spheres (Sleeman, Lang, & Lemon, 2016). Furthermore, investigations of international students' educational uses of social media have placed limited focus on its personal impact on the lives of students.…”

With the increased focus on the use of digital platforms to facilitate teaching and learning comes the challenge of creating connections between international students and their new classmates. The use of social media in higher education may be one avenue that can enable not only learning but also social connections between students to improve the international study experience and sense of community. This article reports on the findings of a small survey study at an Australian university, which demonstrate that the majority of international students surveyed had greater prior experience with social network sites for personal and educational use rather than wikis, blogs, and discussion forums, which are often used in institutional settings. Furthermore, the results suggest that the educational use of social network sites led many participants to add new classmates as profile friends. These findings have implications for the choice of digital platforms for pedagogical use of social media and how that may impact on the teaching of international students in higher education for making connections.

“…Social media use reduces boundaries between university faculty and students and audiences with access to open social media platforms (Ngai, Moon, Lam, Chin, & Tao, 2015;Sleeman, Lang, & Lemon, 2016) however, privacy issues with social media mean faculty must decide if the use of social media presents inappropriate risks that can become controversial and challenging (Castagnera & Lanza, 2010;Manea & Ranieri, 2016). Legal and ethical issues abound with social media and there are few defining laws that provide regulations and guidance for professors and social media use particularly in global institutions (Nelson, Simek, & Foltin, 2009-10).…”

The technological revolution of the past two decades has changed communication, higher education, and the global society. As a result, there exists a wide gulf between the unlimited use of technology and higher education, particularly with respect to digital communications between professors and students. Web 2.0 digital technologies convey information in a different manner than before and allow for interaction with distance participants. Personal use of digital technologies for social media communication is one thing; social media use by professors for communication with students is another. Both aspects should be examined in detail to determine the future directions for global learning.

“…Fungsi manipulatif adalah kemampuan media dalam menampilkan kembali suatu benda/peristiwa dengan berbagai cara sesuai kondisi, situasi, tujuan, dan sasarannya (Palaiokrassas et al, 2016). Fungsi distributif menyebutkan bahwa media pembelajaran memiliki kemampuan untuk mengatasi batas ruang dan waktu (Sleeman, Lang, & Lemon, 2016). Artinya media pembelajaran dapat menyajikan ringkasan dari suatu rangkaian pengamatan yang panjang/ lama (Asyhar, 2012).…”
