Abstract:As the use of social network sites (SNS) has become increasingly prevalent, its effect on sustainable performance has received much attention. The existing literature has taken either a positive or negative view of SNS, arguing that it either decreases performance by taking time and effort away from work, or increases performance by providing social benefits for enhancing performance. In contrast, this experimental study, investigates how SNS use can disturb or enhance the performance of different types of tasks differently, thus influencing the sustainability of task performance. Based on distraction-conflict theory, this study distinguishes between simple and complex tasks, examines the role of SNS, and analyzes data including electroencephalography data captured by a brain-computer interface. The results show that task performance can be sustainable such that SNS use positively influences performance when participants are engaged in a simple task and influences performance neither positively nor negatively when participants are engaged in a complex task. The study finds the former result is attributable to the positive effect of the psychological arousal induced by SNS use and the latter result to the negative effect of the psychological arousal offsetting the positive effect of reduced stress resulting from SNS use.

“…Drawing from the ensuing discourse, a number of scholars have observed that under the influence of OSN, students achieve better academic performance [9][10][11][12][13]45]. This is because OSN sites facilitate the immediate transfer of knowledge and learning resources among students anywhere, anytime.…”

Online social networking site (OSNS) like any technological innovation provides an opportunity for quick and easy access to information. As to whether the information obtained provides additional academic knowledge to students is hypothesized and measured by their academic performance in school. This study provides evidence to the ongoingdebate of whether the use of OSNS among students improves academic performance of students.Findings from the study show that the effect of OSNS usage on academic performance was significant (p<0.05). Farther, the study demonstrated that for better academic performance, the optimum proportion of study time that a student may spend on OSNS usage was 25 percent. Students who manage their time well were morelikely to perform better than those who did not, by up to 48 percent. Furthermore, students who used OSNS more for academic than for non-academic purposes were more likely to perform better academically, by up to 11 percent. Regarding student majors: science-based majors tend to benefit more from OSNS usage compared to arts-based majors, by up to 50 percent. Student general characteristics (being male or female, married or single) and student-preferred mode of learning (using traditional, hybrid or online approach) were not significant in this study. In conclusion, use of OSNS by students at universities, when properly regulated results in better academic performance.

E-learning which have various shapes such as blog, classroom learning which is facilitated the World Wide Web; a mix of online instruction and meeting the class known as additional models or hybrid; or the full online experience, where all assessment and instruction is done electronically. Object relationship of learning and constructivist educational philosophy and confirmed that online learning has the orientation which is basically a constructivist ideology, where the combination of some of the knowledge is an inquiry-oriented activities and authentic and also promote the progress of the construction of new knowledge. Description of the online learning system in theory and practice can be illustrated in a few examples that have been found in the research that has been done and found new discoveries obtained in the study, but not everything can be done because of several factors. Please note that the components in the online learning system can serve as a learning system which is very strong influence on learning in the class. The objective of this research is to a pedagogical critical review of online learning system in theory and practice that can be applied by teachers in the teaching process in the classroom. The results obtained in this study were teachers and students need extra effort to make online classes and virtual. Further research is needed on appropriate strategies in order to determine the next result is more useful. There some advices for any studies that discuss online learning system are done in certain areas, namely the use of electricity and other disciplines such as social and humanities.
