“…First, these sites are “sticky” sites [ 4 ] in that they induce users to repeatedly visit them. For example, users can initiate and search for hashtags, read up-to-date news, and access live streams [ 5 ]. Furthermore, networking sites are accessible and can be reached via smartphones at any time and from any location.…”

Purpose The purpose of this study is to investigate the influence of perceived security, perceived privacy, and satisfaction on Facebook user continuance intention. In addition, the serial multiple mediating effects of trust and satisfaction on the relationship between continuance intention and Facebook determinants are explored. This study also investigates the moderating role of Facebook addiction on the relationship between satisfaction and continuance intention. Design/methodology/approach To achieve the study aims, an online survey was conducted among university undergraduate students. Data were collected from 450 voluntary participants. The statistical analysis was performed using SPSS and PROCESS macro models. Findings The study results confirm that perceived privacy and satisfaction have significant impacts on Facebook continuance intention. The path analysis results confirm the full mediating roles of trust and satisfaction in the relationship between perceived security and continuance intention. Furthermore, the moderating role of Facebook addiction on the relationship between satisfaction and continuance intention is confirmed. Practical implications The results of this study offer insights to Facebook managers and policymakers regarding the treatment of and intervention in Facebook continuance intention. The results disclose the critical role of users' satisfaction and perceived privacy in influencing Facebook users' continuance intention for Facebook managers and policymakers. This confirms that Facebook managers and policymakers must maintain user privacy to increase the level of user satisfaction and continuance intention. Furthermore, they must ensure that the requisite security mechanisms are in place to increase user trust and satisfaction that influence users’ continuance intention. Originality/value This research integrated perceived privacy, perceived security, and trust with an Information System (IS) success model. This is the first study to investigate the serial mediating effects of trust and satisfaction on the determinants of Facebook continuance intention. The moderating effects of Facebook addiction on the relationship between satisfaction and continuance intention are also examined. The study results make important contributions to Facebook continuance intention research and advance scholarship into aspects of undergraduate students’ continuance intention in the context of Facebook.

This article aimed to identify the usefulness of using social networking sites (SNSs) in an English as a foreign language class. One hundred sixteen undergraduate students of diverse degrees from a polytechnic state-owned university in Ecuador participated in the study, which followed a quantitative design. A descriptive analysis and a linear regression model were used to analyze the data gathered through an online survey. Results reported that participants agreed on average with all the propositions, thus confirming their perception of the usefulness of the SNSs used in class. Also, it was identified that the factors “Interaction with the teacher” ( t = −0.116, p = .908) and “Engagement” ( t = 1.508, p = .133) are not statistically significant predictors of student performance. Also, the factors “Interaction with peers” ( t = 11.717, p < .001) and “Influence on cooperative learning” ( t = 10.088, p < .001) were significant predictors in the model. The results of this investigation directly impact teachers’ practice and students who will be the first recipients of the advantages of using this tool in class.

“…Online social networking can stimulate social and civic benefits, which has implications for education. For example, in Saudi Arabia, the most common social networking sites are WhatsApp (67.90%), Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, and Snapchat which develop students 'academic performance (Alaslani & Alandejani, 2020) and social networking service and visual learning environment make the learning process more interesting, fun, and effective (Rosy, 2018). The use of social media at the K-12 level for educational purposes is no exception.…”

Social media applications have become a vital tool for human daily communication and are widely used in the education process worldwide. Regardless of the use of social media by some instructors as a personal initiative, in Iraq, social media's use for educational purposes has been neglected. The outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic pushed the world to implement online teaching using varying technology applications including social media as an essential tool in the learning process. This shifted the Iraqi government’s understanding of social media's role in education to the extent that they formally recommended that the educational departments, schools, universities use social media as a formal platform to keep the education going. However, there were concerns about using social media for several factors such as internet services, information and communication technology skills of instructors and students, integrity, and quality insurance of education. This study investigated the teachers' and students’ perceptions regarding these concerns by adopting a survey method through an online questionnaire using 'google forms' (N= 2010) with responses from teachers and students of universities and high schools and parents of students of basic schools. This study revealed that less than half of the respondents were in favor of using social media in the learning process. The findings suggested that the educational level, age, and geographical hierarchies and jobs of respondents are also correlated with using social media and e-learning.
