“…It was determined in the research that students used search engines and office programs the most. When the related domain was examined, it was found that social networks could easily be used in educational context [9,19,21] and this would contribute to teaching, improving and sharing of class materials, and extracurricular group studies [22,5,23]. Similarly, it is [23] stated that classes where undergraduate students are present have positive contributions on academic success, motivation and self-monitoring.…”

“…Similarly, it is [23] stated that classes where undergraduate students are present have positive contributions on academic success, motivation and self-monitoring. According to a study [5] supporting social networks in the educational processes has a positive impact on students' learning and facilitates and improves the learning processes. In an another study [24] with the participation of university students, students' willingness to use electronic learning was analyzed.…”

Knowledge sharing has become a significant source of success in Knowledge Management (KM). In many organisations, knowledge management is often inadequate when it comes to web-based knowledge sharing, particularly among academics who work in Saudi universities. To ensure that a knowledge sharing system can be well implemented and used when communicating internally in an academic context, there is a need to know why academics accept or reject the use of web-based knowledge sharing systems. Therefore, the aim of this research is to determine the factors that affect academics' behaviours toward using web technology to share knowledge in Saudi Arabian higher education institutions. Furthermore, a web-based knowledge sharing adoption model is constructed based on the factors which already exist in technology acceptance theories, such as the Unified Theory of Acceptance and Use of Technology (UTAUT) and Task-Technology Fit (TTF), as well as other factors which are explored in knowledge sharing literature reviews to enrich the proposed model. Then, the model will be edited and refined using mixed method approach. The future work will expand the model and evaluate it to ensure that it fits the academics' needs.

“…Information can be shared with friends, family members, workmates, and total strangers (Khatoon, 2016;Sadaf et al, 2016). Usman and Oyefolahan (2014) noted that no geographical, social, or cultural barriers are encountered in sharing information and experiences. Popular ways that people are using for sharing are: social media, photo, file, and video sharing Websites.…”

The global usage of Web 2.0 applications is increasing daily. Due to the rapid advancement of the digital revolution, the Web 2.0 applications are currently becoming an essential in our personal and professional lives because of the digital revolution. Most of these applications have user-friendly interfaces that encourage users to become socially active. Therefore, as to gain more understanding of this phenomenon, this research was constructed with the aims to investigate the Internet usage habits in Erbil City, to determine the preferred Web 2.0 applications and compare the results of this research with that of past research done in Istanbul (Turkey). The required data were collected through a survey of close-ended questions. The researchers employed the convenient sampling method in the collection of the data in Erbil city, which summed up to a total of 450 samples. These data were then analyzed and described using SPSS software version 22.0. During the analysis of the data, the frequency and percentage methods were utilized. As a result, it was discovered that Facebook is the most popular Web 2.0 application in both Erbil and Istanbul. However, the findings also show significant differences in the usage of Web 2.0 applications in terms of gender, age, and education level in Erbil.
