Information technology and education have been working hand in hand. Advancement in computer technology has altogether opened up limitless educational innovation. With the rise of popularity of social networking sites (SNS) such as Facebook, educators have been eager to test the usefulness and effectiveness of SNS in the teaching and learning process. This paper summarizes the findings of a case study with the use of a social networking software; Mahara. Participants are 46 students of a technical vocational university in Taiwan. Students are grouped together and assigned a certain task to accomplish with the use of Mahara. Enabling the collaborative functions of SNS to accomplish the task, students are later surveyed with regards to their learning styles, perceived collaborative learning and constructivist internet-based learning environment (CILES) preferences. Result shows that the participants’ collaboration is highly significant to their CILES preferences. While, there seems to be no significant effects of learning style towards the participants’ CILES preferences. Recommendations are given to further the improvement of SNS use in education.

“…With the group evaluation approach, one may verify whether the performance of a specific group has increased or assess if group members have developed some generic ability to collaborate which they could possibly reuse in other groups (Dillengourg, 1999). An important potential benefit of CSCL environment is the support of diverse learning styles (Wang, Hinn, & Kanfer, 2001). Hiltz and Turoff (1993) found a strong tendency toward more equal participation, and that more opinions tended to be asked for and offered.…”

Evident and growing research interest has been witnessed on the relationship between the use of computer-based systems and effective communication in group-related activities such as collaborative learning and training. The various terms accorded to this research stream include virtual teams, e-collaboration, computer-supported collaborative work, distributed work, electronic meetings, etc. A notable and well-accepted aspect in the information system field is group support systems (GSS), the focus of this article.

“…Dede (1996( , en Wang et al 2001) señala que el trabajar en equipos colaborativos CSCL permite combinar distintos estilos de aprendizaje. Al respecto, un estudio (Wang et al 2001) sugiere que los ambientes CSCL sustentan el aprendizaje de alumnos con diversos estilos de aprendizaje. De acuerdo a este trabajo, es la naturaleza interactiva del trabajo colaborativo y la flexibilidad que entrega este tipo de trabajo mediado por tecnología lo que explicaría la poca diferencia que encontraron en los resultados y la satisfacción de alumnos con distintos estilos de aprendizaje que participaron en un curso desarrollado con esta metodología.…”
