“…This social network facilitates communication and interaction between students and advisors (Amador & Amador, 2014) and between peers (Cheng, Chan, Kong, & Leung, 2016;Dickie & Meier, 2015;Magogwe, Ntereke, & Phetlhe, 2015;Sayımer, Yüksel, & Demir, 2015). This tool also supported students-centered learning and engaged students in and beyond classroom, with learning materials and development of group assignments (Cheng et al, 2016;Deepak, Wisner, & Benton, 2016;Magogwe et al, 2015).…”

Digital technologies are an integral part of Higher Education teaching, revealing a set of technologies chosen to integrate formal learning contexts, and therefore being used by students in support of learning. This paper presents a literature review mapping the digital technologies set for higher education students to use in formal education contexts, over the last five years between 2012 and 2017. Results show a pattern of technologies reflecting teacher’s choice for methods combining face-to-face and at distance learning, frequently in relation to the adoption of flipped classroom methods. Mapping the digital technologies used by students, showed a pattern of three most used in a total of nine types identified. Institutional Learning Management Systems mainly support a wider access to information and learning materials, followed by technologies that promote publishing and sharing content related to class activities, and a broad range of technologies categorized under ICTs. The overall impact of use of technologies in students learning process and outcomes revealed to be positive, used with the intention to promote students’ active engagement and participation in the learning process inside and outside the classroom walls. The data also revealed digital technologies to support more transmissive ways of teaching, facilitating students individually to Access, share and publish information, and significantly lesser used to promote collaborative and cooperative learning.

“…As shown in educational research, social connectedness has benefits not only for cognitive capacity but also for student engagement, which is a positive predictor of academic success (Tinto, 1997;C.-M. Zhao & Kuh, 2004). With educational research also increasingly identifying frameworks for the design of tasks involving social media technologies in ways that promote active and collaborative learning (Bower, Hedberg, & Kuswara, 2010;Doyle, Sammon, & Neville, 2015;Kimmerle et al, 2015), productive use of social networking technologies for online learning activities may have the added benefit of increasing feelings of social connectedness to classmates (Deepak et al, 2016).…”

“…Due to the socio-technological affordances of these applications, SNSs have now become a legitimate locus for social connection for many people (Ledbetter, 2016). As such, this social aspect of SNS usage can also be pertinent in educational circumstances (Deepak, Wisner, & Benton, 2016). The incorporation of SNSs into learning activities may be one avenue for providing international students with extended forms of social interaction, which can have a positive impact on their experience of studying overseas (Hendrickson et al, 2011).…”

Social media, learning and connections for international students: The disconnect between what students use and the tools learning management systems offer

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.

This study explored the relationship between the information system (IS) capability with the alignment of IS strategy and social capital and the relationship between the alignment of IS strategy and social capital with business performance. Moreover, this study also aimed to investigate the mediating role of the alignment of IS strategy and social capital in the relationship between IS capability and business performance. A cross-sectional field study (i.e. questionnaire survey) was conducted on 179 national scale bank branches across Indonesia. Partial least square (PLS) is utilized to test all of the research hypotheses. The result of the study showed that there are significant relationships between IS capability with the alignment of IS strategy and social capital and significant relationships between the alignment of IS strategy and social capital with business performance. Besides, this study also proved that the alignment of IS strategy with social capital has a significant role in mediating the relationship between IS Capability and Business Performance. This study contributes to the theory development by analyzing the research gap from the previous researchers considering social capital as the strategic factor in the relationship between IS capability and business performance. The findings of this study can provide a reference for companies (i.e. board of directors) in determining investment and information system use policy.
