“…Manca (2020) further studies how social media such as WhatsApp, Instagram, Pinterest and Snapchat contribute to higher education. Olaleye et al (2020), Chu (2020), Thomas et al (2020), Aldahdouh et al (2020), Stathopoulou et al (2019), Guraya et al (2019), Prestridge (2019), Kumar and Nanda (2019) are some of the latest research works that explore the different aspects of use of social media in higher education. Alshahrani and Pennington (2018, 2019) uses techniques such as semi-structured interviews/online questionnaires to explore the sources of self-efficacy that researchers depend upon while disseminating knowledge via social media platforms.…”

Purpose Social media sites are one of the vital technological developments of WEB 2.0. This study aims to emphasize on building an empirical model to investigate the impending determinants of users’ intention to use social media sites in higher education. Depending on the existing theories such as the social media acceptance model, e-learning acceptance model, unified theory of acceptance and use of technology and existing literature, determinants such as “performance,” “communication functionality” and “self” have been identified to test. Further, the mediation effect of “peer influence” on the relationship has also been tested. Design/methodology/approach A total of 310 students of different private and public Indian institutions have participated in an online survey. Exploratory factor analysis and multiple linear regression analysis are performed and results were analyzed. Findings The results of this study demonstrated substantial evidence of the impact of performance, communication functionality and self on the intention to use social media in higher education. The mediation of peer influence has also been seen between all the relations. Originality/value An empirical model of intention to use social media in higher education is built. The median of peer influence is tested.

“…Internships, however, are not only about learning how to communicate with different employees and clients. Throughout the internship, interns will learn a variety of other technical, leadership, managerial, organizational, ethical, and professional skills, which, in turn, makes them more competitive in the job market [7][8][9][10][11][12]. Specifically, studies have found that internships have a positive correlation with future job satisfaction [13,14], the ability to secure a job quickly and with ease [13,15], a higher salary [13,16], and the attractiveness of candidates to recruiters [13,17].…”

Evaluation of an Interview-Based Internship Class in the Construction Management Curriculum: A Case Study of the University of Nebraska-Lincoln

Internships have been shown to be impactful tools to connect students’ learning in academia with real-world industrial needs. To help the students to get more out of their internship experience, some universities provide a summer internship class in which students do class assignments based on their experiences during their internship. There have been numerous studies on the benefits of internships. However, the benefits of a potential internship class for students in construction management (CM) programs at universities have not yet been investigated. This paper demonstrates the structure of an interview-based internship class and investigates its effectiveness. We have focused on the CM program at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln (UNL) as a case study. We sent online questionnaires to the intern students who took the class, students’ mentors, and the professors who taught the class. The results indicate that despite some challenges to meet the requirements of the class, the students, their mentors, and the professor found the class beneficial. The results of this paper are expected to help CM programs with the establishment and improvement of internship classes in their curriculum.

“…However, little is explicitly known about the positive outcomes associated with students' use of social media in their learning activities. The social media and social networking sites can better enhance the classroom learning (Chu, 2020; Rueda, Benitez, & Braojos, 2017), which can ultimately help augment students' perception of digital technologies (PDTs), perceived teaching and learning (PTL), perceived satisfaction from learning and can polish their competence. Such a major role, though has richer implications, has not thoroughly examined in the literature.…”

The contemporary smart concepts of education signify a heavy role of blogging tools in digital learning environments that have a substantial effect on students' learning and satisfaction. This study aims to analyze the influence of students' four perceptions about blogging that is, perception of digital technology (PDT), perceptions of teaching and learning (PTL), perceptions of previous blogging experience (PBE), and perceived usefulness of blogging (PUB) on the frequency of blogging and then assesses the impact of the frequency of blogging on perceived satisfaction as well as perceived learning of students. For this purpose, the researchers conducted a quantitative study with a positivist approach in which the data were collected from 350 students in Anhui Province, China to conduct analysis of the proposed relationships. The results of the current study suggest that there is a positive impact of PDT, PTL, PBE and PUB on the frequency of blogging. It means that the positive perceptions of students towards digital technology, teaching and learning, previous bogging experience and usefulness of blogging result in higher frequency and use of blogging activity. It further indicates that the high frequency of blogging has ultimately a positive impact on perceived satisfaction and perceived learning. The discussion and findings of the current study have useful implications for theory and practice because they provide empirical evidence and theoretical guidelines about the role of blogging in perceived learning and satisfaction.
