Abstract

Technological evolution had a significant impact on human interactions and digitization transformation increased usage of social networking. The use of social networks in education represents the recognition of the social change produced by this phenomenon. Social media may cover part of the digital domain and provide another dimension for education where space and time limitations no longer exist. The aims of this paper are to investigate and understand academics’ attitudes towards integrating social media into Education, but from a student’s perspective. After reviewing the literature, it can be suggested that there is great potential for social networking integration in education. However, it is understandable the existence of obstacles which restricts its integration among the students. Finally, it can be concluded that from students’ perspective the university is still in the initial stages of recognizing the educational benefits of social networking, but indeed it observed that it has been an attempt to accommodate students time by time with online learning and thus, a positive attitude being present.
