“…Nevertheless, this is a big advantage of the university itself, because according to Mason and Rennie [169], there is a necessity to evaluate and recognize the work of the teachers as acceptable forms of academic work. The management and monitoring of information and student activities was another difficulty.…”

The COVID-19 pandemic led universities to transform the traditional teaching methodologies into distance education. Therefore, social media has become progressively prominent as teaching and learning resources in universities. Several studies have been conducted for the development of social media as a learning tool. However, there is limited empirical evidence supporting this claim. The present study bridges the gap in the literature concerning the value of the use of social media in higher education. This research seeks to examine the impact of the use of social media in (a) enhancing teaching and learning in universities, (b) motivating and supporting students and (c) developing community connection. A qualitative methodology was adopted. Specifically, in-depth interviews were conducted to assess the effectiveness of social media on students learning in higher education. The results showed that the use of social media by higher educational institutions positively impacts the educational process by (a) promoting teaching and learning, (b) motivating students to be active participants, and (c) establishing connections in the university community. Some obstacles in the teaching and learning process were also identified. Future areas of research are proposed.

“…So to be of benefit to learning and education, there needs to be a process of consolidating this fragmented information. Integrating these tools into the established Learning Management Systems (LMSs) combines the advantages of both technologies (Bubas et al, 2011). The result would be a unified Virtual Learning Environment (VLE) that acts as a central repository for the products of shared collaboration and self-directed study.…”

“…Even with the addition of the new social interaction features, LMSs are considered inflexible and teacher-oriented. They are predominately used by teaching staff as information repositories for course materials such as lecture presentations and supplementary material (Bubas et al, 2011;Ryan et al, 2011). The one advantage of using a LMS is that all learning content is stored and organised in a single Virtual Learning Environment (VLE).…”

“…This fragmentation prevents easy access to information and has a negative impact on peer-to-peer learning and knowledge distribution (Ryan et al, 2011). Bubas et al (2011) propose a more integrated environment merging a Moodle system with built-in wiki tool and Mahara e-portfolio system. The authors found that the separate artefacts created by the different tools were more effectively managed within the integrated system.…”

Social networking has become one of the most popular communication tools to have evolved over the past decade, making it a powerful new information sharing resource in society. To date realising the potential of Social Networking Sites (SNSs) beyond their leisure uses has been severely restricted in a number of areas. This paper focuses on the application of SNSs in a learning environment and the impact this could have on academic practices. While undoubtedly, due to the very casual nature of social networking, there are serious concerns over how it could be integrated in a learning environment; the potential positive outcomes are many and varied. As a communication tool, its effectiveness is already manifesting in the millions who use these networks to communicate on a daily basis. So it is conceivable that educators should be able to create a learnscape - an environment for formal and informal learning - that adheres to educational guidelines, but also harnesses the social support system of these on-line communities. This paper examines the risks involved in the creation of this new learning ecology, and explores the challenges faced by both technology experts and teachers in delivering a truly innovative and effective new approach to education.
